text: 'There is increasing evidence that protein binding to specific sites along
DNA can activate the reading out of genetic information without coming into direct
physical contact with the gene. There also is evidence that these distant but
interacting sites are embedded in a liquid droplet of proteins which condenses
out of the surrounding solution. We argue that droplet-mediated interactions can
account for crucial features of gene regulation only if the droplet is poised
at a non-generic point in its phase diagram. We explore a minimal model that embodies
this idea, show that this model has a natural mechanism for self-tuning, and suggest
direct experimental tests. '
