Abstract
Two recent papers (Larson et al., 2017; Strom et al., 2017) in Nature propose that heterochromatic domains are organized into phase-separated liquid compartments. Here we highlight the main findings that support the liquid-like nature of HP1 domains and discuss their functional implications in gene silencing and genome organization.Mesh:
