Show PostThe results provide a clearer picture of where and how this remarkable lineage emerged.
Show PostThe landmark study analysed 103 bat genomes, including 42 newly generated chromosome-level assemblies, representing all 21 recognised bat families. This was combined with evidence from 44 fossil bats.
Show Post...a global initiative dedicated to sequencing the genomes of all living bat species co-founded by UCD’s Professor Teeling, reconstructed the evolutionary history of the world's only mammals capable of true powered flight.
