How liquid-like protein droplets collectively read DNA regions to switch on genes

When an organism develops, dividing cells specialize to form the variety of tissues and organs that build up the adult body, while keeping the same genetic material — contained in our DNA. In a process known as transcription, parts of the DNA — the genes — are copied into a messenger molecule -the ribonucleic acid (RNA) — that carries the information needed to produce proteins, the building blocks of life.
