Discovering non-equilibrium mechanisms that regulatestructure and function of biomolecular condensates usingphase-field modeling by Natarajan, Pradeep

“…The second project investigates how transcription of messenger RNA (mRNA) by transcriptional condensates is modulated by other RNAs in the vicinity, such as long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs). Our model reveals that lncRNA transcription in the vicinity can regulate mRNA transcription by altering the protein concentration and lifetime of transcriptional condensates, 3 promoting mRNA transcription from genes expressed at a low level and inhibiting transcription from highly expressed genes. …”
