With abundant crystal defects, cerium oxide (CeO2), widely used in heterogeneous
catalysis, has attracted extensive attention. In recent years, researchers have investigated …

Cancer researchers have traditionally used the mouse and the rat as staple model
organisms. These animals are very short-lived, reproduce rapidly and are highly prone to …

Exceptionally long-lived species, including many bats, rarely show overt signs of aging,
making it difficult to determine why species differ in lifespan. Here, we use DNA methylation …

Lifespan varies within and across species, but the general principles of its control remain
unclear. Here, we conducted multi-tissue RNA-seq analyses across 41 mammalian species …

Bats possess extraordinary adaptations, including flight, echolocation, extreme longevity
and unique immunity. High-quality genomes are crucial for understanding the molecular …

Bats harbor many viruses asymptomatically, including several notorious for causing extreme
virulence in humans. To identify differences between antiviral mechanisms in humans and …

INTRODUCTION How novel protein architectures evolve remains poorly understood. The
rearrangement of domains with preexisting functions into new composite architectures …

Aging negatively impacts vitality and health. Many genetic pathways that regulate aging
were discovered in invertebrates. However, the genetics of aging is more complex in …

For centuries, people believed that bats possessed sinister powers. Bats are thought to be
ancestral hosts to many deadly viruses affecting humans including Ebola, rabies, and most …

The Genome 10K Project was established in 2009 by a consortium of biologists and
genome scientists determined to facilitate the sequencing and analysis of the complete …
