Are DNA replication and transcription kind of phase separation in cells? Cause these are non- equilibrium reaction and free lying nucleotides is collected and form a chain of DNA and RNA, there should have a denser phase and less dense phase in the environment. If yes, which kind of phase separation are they, liquid-liquid or liquid- solid? If no, why?
