Biomolecular condensation is a mechanism for controlling cell organization. Many condensates are rich in nuclei acids such as RNA. The role of specific RNA sequences and structures in promoting the molecular identity of condensates formed for cell polarity and division and by the SARS CoV-2 virus will be discussed.
