5. Conclusion
In summary, our comparative transcriptome analyses of the brain, liver,
and cochlear in the macrotis group provided the theoretical basis
for the adaptive mechanism in the evolution of
specieslow. The evidence of genetic adaptation provides
insights into hearing related genetic adaptation, visual related genetic
adaptation and energy metabolism related genetic adaptation. And GO
enrichment analysis revealed that PSGs detected in the
specieslow mainly enriched in GO terms related to energy
metabolism. The important genes and mutations selected may be of great
significance for the bat adaptability. While more detailed functional
studies of all the selected candidate genes will be necessary to confirm
the roles of individual genes. Studying the function and potential
pathways of these genes will contribute to a better understanding of
phenotypic evolution in bats, espically for the evolution of bat
acoustic. Further study of specieslow will play an
important role in understanding of their adaptive ev olution mechanisms.
