Viral tolerance enabled by a bat-specific genomic tweak

Nature, Published online: 29 January 2025; doi:10.1038/d41586-025-00081-8Bats carry viral pathogens that typically do not lead to severe disease in the bats themselves but can be lethal to humans. Adaptations in certain immune genes might contribute to this resistance.
