A modular tool to query and inducibly disrupt biomolecular condensates

Here, the authors present DisCo (Disassembly of Condensates), a method that allows the fast, inducible, and specific disruption of tagged condensates in mammalian cells. DisCo uses chemical dimerizers to induce the recruitment of a ligand into condensates leading to condensate disassembly.
