Genome study traces bats' origins back 65 million years
Original: 49er ACE Network honors outstanding alumni employees and landmark genome study unmasks the 65-million-year origins of bats
A landmark genome study has revealed that bats originated roughly 65 million years ago, shedding light on how the only mammals capable of true flight evolved. The findings were highlighted by UNC Charlotte alongside its 49er ACE Network awards, which honored outstanding alumni employees. Researchers say the genomic analysis resolves long-standing questions about where bats sit on the mammalian family tree.
Why now: The new genome research answers major open questions about bat evolution, drawing scientific and public attention.
