Insights into longevity and virus-driven adaptation from <i>Myotis</i> bat genomes
2024-10-11
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Summary Paragraph</h4> The genus Myotis is one of the largest clades of bats, and exhibits some of the most extreme variation in lifespans among mammals alongside unique adaptations to viral tolerance and immune defense 1–3 . To study the evolution of these phenotypes we generated cell lines and near-complete genome assemblies for eight closely related Myotis species. Using genome-wide screens of positive...
