The genome sequence of Tadarida brasiliensis I. Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire, 1824 [Molossidae; Tadarida] [version 1; peer review: 2 approved, 1 approved with reservations] [PDF]

Wellcome Open Research
We present a genome assembly from an individual male Tadarida brasiliensis (The Brazilian free-tailed bat; Chordata; Mammalia; Chiroptera; Molossidae). The genome sequence is 2.28 Gb in span. The majority of the assembly is scaffolded into 25 chromosomal

Six reference-quality genomes reveal evolution of bat adaptations. [PDF]

Nature, 2020
Bats possess extraordinary adaptations, including flight, echolocation, extreme longevity and unique immunity. High-quality genomes are crucial for understanding the molecular basis and evolution of these traits. Here we incorporated long-read sequencing

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.

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.

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.

Chiropterans Are a Hotspot for Horizontal Transfer of DNA Transposons in Mammalia. [PDF]

Mol Biol Evol, 2023
Horizontal transfer of transposable elements (TEs) is an important mechanism contributing to genetic diversity and innovation. Bats (order Chiroptera) have repeatedly been shown to experience horizontal transfer of TEs at what appears to be a high rate ...
