| cross-species recognition of sars-cov-2 to bat ace2. | the coronavirus disease 2019 (covid-19) pandemic caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (sars-cov-2) has emerged as a major threat to global health. although varied sars-cov-2-related coronaviruses have been isolated from bats and sars-cov-2 may infect bat, the structural basis for sars-cov-2 to utilize the human receptor counterpart bat angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (bace2) for virus infection remains less understood. here, we report that the sars-cov-2 spike protein recept ... | 2021 | 33335073 |
| species delimitation and evolutionary reconstruction within an integrative taxonomic framework: a case study on rhinolophus macrotis complex (chiroptera: rhinolophidae). | species delimitation and evolutionary reconstruction remain challenging for non-model species that have experienced reticulate evolution and exhibit conflicting patterns of differentiation among multiple lines of evidence, such as mitochondrial and nuclear data and phenotypes. here, we applied an integrative taxonomic approach to a case study of rhinolophus macrotis complex, whose taxonomic status remains controversial, to provide insight into the systematics and evolutionary history of these sp ... | 2019 | 31252069 |
| complete mitochondrial genome of the big-eared horseshoe bat rhinolophus macrotis (chiroptera, rhinolophidae). | we sequenced and characterized the complete mitochondrial genome of the big-eared horseshoe bat, rhinolophus macrotis. total length of the mitogenome is 16,848 bp, with a base composition of 31.2% a, 25.3% t, 28.8% c and 14.7% g. the mitogenome consists of 13 protein-coding genes, 2 rrna (12s and 16s rrna) genes, 22 trna genes and 1 control region. it has the same gene arrangement pattern as those of typical vertebrate mitochondrial genome. the results will contribute to our understanding of the ... | 2016 | 25604479 |
| the complex evolutionary history of big-eared horseshoe bats (rhinolophus macrotis complex): insights from genetic, morphological and acoustic data. | palaeoclimatic oscillations and different landscapes frequently result in complex population-level structure or the evolution of cryptic species. elucidating the potential mechanisms is vital to understanding speciation events. however, such complex evolutionary patterns have rarely been reported in bats. in china, the rhinolophus macrotis complex contains a large form and a small form, suggesting the existence of a cryptic bat species. our field surveys found these two sibling species have a co ... | 2016 | 27748429 |

| full-length genome sequences of two sars-like coronaviruses in horseshoe bats and genetic variation analysis. | bats were recently identified as natural reservoirs of sars-like coronavirus (sl-cov) or sars coronavirus-like virus. these viruses, together with sars coronaviruses (sars-cov) isolated from human and palm civet, form a distinctive cluster within the group 2 coronaviruses of the genus coronavirus, tentatively named group 2b (g2b). in this study, complete genome sequences of two additional group 2b coronaviruses (g2b-covs) were determined from horseshoe bat rhinolophus ferrumequinum (g2b-cov rf1) ... | 2006 | 17030870 |
