Bat Biology, Genomes, and the Bat1K Project: To Generate Chromosome-Level Genomes for All Living Bat Species [PDF]
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.

Tissue collection of bats for -omics analyses and primary cell culture
As high-throughput sequencing technologies advance, standardized methods for high quality tissue acquisition and preservation allow for the extension of these methods to non-model organisms.

We developed high‐precision genome assemblies for two endangered avian species in Japan, the Okinawa rail and the Japanese golden eagle, using a hybrid approach combining short‐ and long‐read whole genome sequencing technologies. This method improved assembly contiguity, reduced missing data, and enhanced completeness, improving the results of ...

Diverse hosts, diverse immune systems: Evolutionary variation in bat immunology
Bats are recognized to have distinct immune systems from other vertebrates that may allow them to host virulent pathogens without showing disease. However, these flying mammals are also incredibly diverse, such that bats should not be expected to be immunologically homogenous.

Cryptic hybridization between the ancient lineages of Natterer's bat (Myotis nattereri)
Abstract Studying hybrid zones that form between morphologically cryptic taxa offers valuable insights into the mechanisms of cryptic speciation and the evolution of reproductive barriers. Although hybrid zones have long been the focus of evolutionary studies, the awareness of cryptic hybrid zones increased recently due to rapidly growing evidence of ...

Evolution and characterization of the Fc-mediated response in bats 2331633
Introduction Bats (order Chiroptera) serve as important reservoirs of known and potentially zoonotic pathogens, driven partially by novel immune adaptations.
