Bombyx Vasa sequesters transposon mRNAs in nuage via phase separation requiring RNA binding and self-association

Bombyx Vasa assembles Vasa bodies, the site of transposon silencing by Siwi and Ago3-piRISC formation. Here, the authors show Vasa sequesters transposon mRNAs in Vasa bodies via phase separation requiring RNA binding and self-association of Vasa.
