A single cluster of RNA Polymerase II molecules is stably associated with active genes

Apratim Mukherjee, Manya Kapoor, Kareena Shankta…·Mustafa Mir

The paper investigates RNAPII clustering during ZGA in Drosophila embryos, showing clusters are stably associated with active genes and reflect transcriptional activity, not phase separation.
