Near chromosome-level genome of the Mojave poppy bee

Scientists at the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA)’s Agricultural Research Service (ARS) and university research partners developed a near chromosome-level genome for the Mojave poppy bee, a specialist pollinator of conservation concern, according to a recent Journal of Heredity paper. Putting together the Mojave poppy bee genome is part of the Beenome100 project, a […]

The poison frog that fooled scientists for decades

Scientists at the University of Kansas Biodiversity Institute and Natural History Museum recently uncovered a mistake that dates back decades involving a poison frog specimen from Peru. The frog had been incorrectly identified and designated as a holotype, which is the single preserved specimen used to officially define a species. While modern taxonomy may also […]

The traffic controller: GARLH4 dictates neuroligin synapse-type preference

Neuroligin isoforms are commonly thought to intrinsically specify synapse identity. In this issue, Yamasaki et al. (https://doi.org/10.1083/jcb.202507190) show that the auxiliary protein GARLH4 (LHFPL4) instead dictates neuroligin preference via competitive hierarchy, enabling dynamic reassignment between excitatory and inhibitory postsynaptic domains.
