Long-Read Sequencing Reveals Rapid Evolution of Immunity- and Cancer-Related Genes in Bats
1 Sept 2023
Abstract excerpt
Bats are exceptional among mammals for their powered flight, extended lifespans, and robust immune systems and therefore have been of particular interest in comparative genomics. Using the Oxford Nanopore Technologies long-read platform, we sequenced the genomes of two bat species with key phylogenetic positions, the Jamaican fruit bat (Artibeus jamaicensis) and the Mesoamerican mustached bat (Pteronotus...
