PYHIN Gene Family Loss Association with Bat Flight and Roosting Traits

A 29.1 KB Excel file published on figshare by Chanasei Ziemann in May 2026. It contains results from phylogenomic and comparative genomic analyses across more than 150 mammalian species. The data investigates the evolutionary dynamics of the PYHIN immune gene family and its loss in bats.

Use Cases

• Conducting phylogenetic logistic regression based on bat ecological traits like flight and roosting.
• Analyzing gene family copy number variation based on genomic distance between anchor genes SPTA1 and CADM3.
• Testing associations between immune gene loss and specific ecological specializations mentioned in the description.
• Studying the Anchored Gene Cluster Pulsation evolutionary mechanism described in the dataset.

Strengths

• Analysis includes data from more than 150 mammalian species.
• Focuses on a specific immune gene family (PYHIN) and its complete loss in bats.
• Uses phylogenetically controlled statistical methods as described.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The 29.1 KB file size suggests a limited scope of data, likely summary statistics rather than raw genomic sequences.
