Fanged Frog of Borneo Shows Speciation is Messy
What makes a species a species?
It’s a question that’s tormented biologists for centuries. Early naturalists relied on differences in appearance to make the call, but advances in genetics have allowed biologists to identify species that may…

Lysine-11 ubiquitination drives type-I/III interferon induction by cGAS–STING and Toll-like receptors 3 and 4
TLR3-mediated TBK1 and IRF3 activation requires ANKIB1, an unrecognized component of the TLR3-SC, to promote type-I and type-III IFN induction
After confirming that HOIP and its linUb-generating activity were dispensable for TBK1 activation…
