Abstract excerpt
Aberrant chromatin-associated condensates have emerged as drivers of transcriptional dysregulation in cancer, yet how extrinsic factors modulate their assembly and function remains poorly understood. Gain-of-function mutations in the chromatin reader ENL ("Eleven-nineteen-leukemia") drive oncogenesis by inducing condensate formation at select target loci. Here, we demonstrate that locally produced transcripts...
