Bats’ genes can help them fight off coronaviruses, study suggests – thejournal.ie
The study analysed how bats are able to survive coronaviruses, as well as their ability to use echolocation.
GENES THAT ALLOW bats to fight off deadly diseases such as coronaviruses have been uncovered by a team of global scientists, according to a study.
Researchers generated and analysed six highly accurate genomes, which start to uncover bats ability as mammals to fly, survive fatal infections and navigate complete darkness using sound known as echolocation.
The global scientists consortium, known as Bat1K, believes these genetic materials could be used as tools to identify the solutions evolved i…
