🚨 FINALLY OUT IN nature. A tour de force effort. 🦇 10 new bat genomes, excess of immune gene adaptations, species specific adaptations in ISG15, and anti-SARS-CoV-2 activity of bat ISG15. Bat Researcher - A.Prof. Aaron Irving Michael Hiller CIHR-III | IRSC-IMII NSERC / CRSNG #LZCI #Bat1K nature.com/articles/s4158…

Happy to report that our work on immune system adaptations in #bats is now out in nature 🦇🧬nature.com/articles/s4158… Ariadna Morales Bat Researcher - A.Prof. Aaron Irving Arinjay Banerjee Bat1k Genome Project SENCKENBERG LOEWE Centre Translational Biodiversity Genomics Read more ...

This project started 4 years ago and would not have been possible without the contribution of many fantastic colleagues from Bat1k Genome Project and beyond !! Dimitris Kontopoulos, Leon Hilgers Emma Teeling Prof Sonja Vernes, Bat Boffin🦇🌈 @Nancy_Bat Burton Lim


Incredibly honoured to work with a great team of collaborators on an important project related to bats and viruses with implications to the immune system response. Many of the samples are based on the Royal Ontario Museum frozen tissue collection

📢 We are really excited to launch this new series together with the iBOLEurope community! The first post explores a fundamental question: what is #Biodiversity #Genomics? Biodiversity Genomics Europe (BGE) Earth BioGenome Project 🌍


The countdown is on! 🚀 Our open Bat1K meeting (aka Batellite) is kicking off in just a few minutes! Excited to connect, discuss, and collaborate - join us and be part of the conversation! .... Follow us on Bluesky for more 🤫Bat1k Genome Project.bsky.social
