A novel approach identifies the first transcriptome networks in bats: a new genetic model for vocal communication.

BMC genomics | 2015

Bats are able to employ an astonishingly complex vocal repertoire for navigating their environment and conveying social information. A handful of species also show evidence for vocal learning, an extremely rare ability shared only with humans and few other animals. However, despite their potential for the study of vocal communication, bats remain severely understudied at a molecular level. To address this fundamental gap we performed the first transcriptome profiling and genetic interrogation of molecular networks in the brain of a highly vocal bat species, Phyllostomus discolor.

This is a list of tools and resources that we have found mentioned in this publication.


cortex (tool)

RRID:SCR_002467

Software package with functions that will help researchers plan how many subjects per group need to be included in an MRI-based cortical thickness study to ensure a thickness difference is detected. The package requires cortical thickness mapping and co-registration to be carried out using Freesurfer. The power analyses are implemented in the R software package.
