Different Species of Bats: Genomics, Transcriptome, and Immune Repertoire by Huifang Wang, Hao Zhou, Xinsheng Yao

“…Key findings encompass marked interspecies divergence in genome size, lineage-specific expansions/contractions of immune-related gene families (APOBEC, IFN, and PYHIN), and sensory gene adaptations linked to ecological niches. Notably, echolocating bats exhibited convergent evolution in auditory genes (SLC26A5 and FOXP2), while fruit-eating bats displayed a degeneration of vision-associated genes (RHO), reflecting trade-offs between sensory specialization and ecological demands. (2) The annotation of the V (variable), D (diversity), J (joining), and C (constant) gene families in the TR and IG loci of 12 species from five families, with a focus on a comparative analysis of the differences in TR and IG genes and CDR3 repertoires between different bats and between bats and other mammals, provides us with a deeper understanding of the development and function of the immune system in organisms. …”

Molecular evolution and reassortment dynamics of Orthohantavirus hantanense revealed through longitudinal genomic surveillance in the Republic of Korea by Kyungmin Park, Jongwoo Kim, Seong-Gyu Kim, Won-Keun Kim, Jin-Won Song

“…Cline analyses identified a hybrid zone approximately 45 km wide in northern regions, highlighting the role of inter-lineage genetic exchange in enhancing viral diversity and adaptability. These findings clarify the evolution and phylogeography of HTNV and underscore the importance of ongoing genomic surveillance for identifying transmission hotspots, detecting emerging variants, and guiding targeted public health strategies to control endemic HFRS outbreaks effectively.…”
