Reference-quality bat genomes illuminate adaptations to viral tolerance and disease resistance

2023-02-14

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p>Bats carry viruses that can cause severe disease in other mammals. Asymptomatic infections in bats suggest limited tissue-damaging inflammation and immunopathology. To investigate the genomic basis of disease resistance, the Bat1K project generated reference-quality genomes of ten bat species. A systematic analysis showed that signatures of selection in immune genes are more prevalent i...
