PYHIN Gene Family Loss Associated with Bat Flight and Roosting Traits

Table 3_Statistical association of complete PYHIN gene family loss with flight and inverted roosting in bats.xlsx contains statistical analysis results from a phylogenomic study of over 150 mammalian species. The dataset, authored by Chanasei Ziemann and last updated on 2026-05-28, investigates the evolutionary dynamics of immune-related PYHIN genes. It presents findings linking the complete loss of this gene family in bats to specific ecological traits.

Use Cases

• Conducting phylogenetically controlled statistical tests based on the described logistic regression analysis.
• Studying gene family evolution patterns based on the described Anchored Gene Cluster Pulsation mechanism.
• Investigating immune gene loss in relation to mammalian ecological specialization based on the described traits of flight and roosting.
• Analyzing genomic structural variation based on the described correlation between anchor gene distance and PYHIN copy number.

Strengths

• Analysis spans more than 150 mammalian species, providing a broad comparative context.
• Dataset is focused on a specific, well-defined biological question regarding PYHIN gene family loss.
• Results are derived from phylogenetically controlled analyses, a methodological strength mentioned in the description.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The dataset is very small at 11.1 KB, indicating limited scope, likely containing summary statistics rather than raw data.
