Gene losses in the common vampire bat illuminate molecular adaptations to blood feeding. [PDF]
Sci Adv, 2022 Vampire bats are the only mammals that feed exclusively on blood. To uncover genomic changes associated with this dietary adaptation, we generated a haplotype-resolved genome of the common vampire bat and screened 27 bat species for genes that were ...
