In assembling and editing this special issue of the RNA journal on the topic of RNA in Biological Condensates, I was in for a few surprises.

Had I recruited an additional dozen authors, there probably would have still been little overlap! The articles you'll read in this issue span the gamut from in vitro to in vivo systems, from chemistry to biology, from nucleus to cytoplasm, and from worms and plants to patients.
