Bat DNA offers new cancer research clues; researchers find copies of immune genes
A breakthrough study in mammalian genomics has revealed surprising clues about cancer resistance and longevity hidden within bat DNA. Researchers analyzing high-resolution bat genomes discovered that long-lived bat species possess unique copy number variations (gene duplications) and positive selection in key immune and DNA-repair genes.
