- Transcriptional bursting is regulated by dynamic transcription factor (TF) clustering at enhancers
- Intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs) facilitate TF clustering and subsequent burst induction
- Positive feedback regulation of TF clustering by active transcription
- Formation of a “shared” TF cluster mediates co-activation of distant genes
