Phase separation of proteins is recognized as an important aspect of cellular organization and disease mechanisms. Shin et al. introduce a novel optogenetic tool, which enables different phase-space regimes inside living cells to be assessed and the transition paths between them to be studied with unprecedented spatiotemporal control.

MOTIVATION How to find motifs from genome-scale functional sequences, such as all the promoters in a genome, is a challenging problem. Word-based methods count the occurrences of oligomers to detect excessively represented ones. This approach is known to be fast and accurate compared with other methods. However, two problems have hampered the application of such methods to large-scale data. One...
