Bat biology, genomes, and the Bat1K project: To generate chromosome-level genomes for all living bat species [PDF]

Annual Review of Animal Biosciences, 2018
Bats are unique among mammals, possessing some of the rarest mammalian adaptations, including true self-powered flight, laryngeal echolocation, exceptional longevity, unique immunity, contracted genomes, and vocal learning. They provide key ecosystem services, pollinating tropical plants, dispersing seeds, and controlling insect pest populations, thus ...

Bat genomes illuminate adaptations to viral tolerance and disease resistance. [PDF]

Nature
Zoonoses are infectious diseases transmitted from animals to humans. Bats have been suggested to harbour more zoonotic viruses than any other mammalian order1.
