Fundamental Characteristics of Bat Interferon Systems [PDF]

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2020
Interferons are an essential component of the innate arm of the immune system and are arguably one of the most important lines of defence against viruses.

SwarmGenomics: A Unified Pipeline for Individual-Based Whole-Genome Analyses. [PDF]

Mol Ecol Resour
ABSTRACT Advances in sequencing technologies have made whole‐genome data widely accessible, enabling research in population genetics, evolutionary biology, and conservation. However, analysing whole‐genome sequencing (WGS) data remains challenging, often requiring multiple specialised tools and substantial bioinformatics expertise.

Bats as instructive animal models for studying longevity and aging. [PDF]

Ann N Y Acad Sci
Every organism's lifespan depends on the balance of protective and regenerative versus degenerative processes. Bats (Chiroptera) live far longer than is predicted by their small body size. Recent studies explore mechanisms underlying their longevity and have raised the question of how their aging compares to that of equally long‐lived primates.

The genome sequence of the greater two-lined sac-winged bat Saccopteryx bilineata, Temminck, 1838 (Emballonuridae, Emballonurinae) [version 1; peer review: 2 approved] [PDF]

Wellcome Open Research
We present a genome assembly from an individual male Saccopteryx bilineata (Chordata; Mammalia; Chiroptera; Emballonuridae). The genome sequence is 2.62Gb in span. The majority of the assembly is scaffolded into 13 chromosomal pseudomolecules, with the X

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.

Proteomic Signatures of SARS-CoV-2 Susceptibility in Mexican Free-tailed Bats and Their Application to Viral Surveillance. [PDF]

Integr Comp Biol
The increasing emergence of virulent pathogens necessitates novel approaches to predict and manage infectious disease risks. The importance of integrating observational and experimental approaches to studying host–pathogen interactions has long been ...

An updated synthesis of and outstanding questions in the olfactory and vomeronasal systems in bats: Genetics asks questions only anatomy can answer

The Anatomical Record, Volume 306, Issue 11, Page 2765-2780, November 2023., 2023
Abstract The extensive diversity observed in bat nasal chemosensory systems has been well‐documented at the histological level. Understanding how this diversity evolved and developing hypotheses as to why particular patterns exist require a phylogenetic perspective, which was first outlined in the work of anatomist Kunwar Bhatnagar.

Bat responses to climate change: a systematic review

Biological Reviews, Volume 98, Issue 1, Page 19-33, February 2023., 2023
ABSTRACT Understanding how species respond to climate change is key to informing vulnerability assessments and designing effective conservation strategies, yet research efforts on wildlife responses to climate change fail to deliver a representative overview due to inherent biases.
