PYHIN Gene Family Loss Association with Bat Flight and Roosting

An Excel dataset presents statistical associations between the complete loss of the PYHIN gene family and ecological traits in bats. The analysis integrates phylogenomic and comparative genomic data across more than 150 mammalian species. The dataset was created by Chanasei Ziemann and last updated on 2026-05-28.

Use Cases

• Conducting phylogenetically controlled statistical tests based on the described trait associations.
• Studying the evolution of anchored gene clusters based on the described genomic cassette mechanism.
• Investigating immune tolerance in specialized mammals based on the model of targeted immune gene loss.
• Analyzing correlations between genomic architecture and gene copy number based on the described anchor gene distance.

Strengths

• Analysis spans more than 150 mammalian species.
• Focuses on a specific, targeted loss of DNA-sensing immune genes rather than generalized genome contraction.
• File size is 39.5 KB, indicating a focused, manageable dataset.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
