ases, therefore saving millions of lives. To solve this problem, a team of researchers from Australia and China analyzed bat DNA. The scientists studied two kinds of bats— the Australian megabat, known as the flying fox, and the Chinese microbat. The scientists then arranged the bat genome (基因組 ) in order by paring their DNA. The researchers now think that the special immunity (免疫性 ) to illness that bats have may be connected to their ability to fly. Bats are the only mammals (哺乳動(dòng)物 ) that can truly fly. Flying uses up a lot of energy. The energy burned for flying produces something in the animal called free radicals (自由基 ). Free radicals can damage DNA and lead to diseases such as cancer. However, bats are not affected by free radicals produced during flight. The reason is that bats carry special genes to repair any damaged DNA. Scientists think that because bats fly and produce free radicals, they’ve evolved to carry genes that shaped their special immune system. “We’re thinking that the evolution( 進(jìn)化 ) of flight led to a sort of effect, influencing not only the immune system but also things like aging and cancer,” says Chris, an expert of the Australian Animal Health Laboratory. “We think we’ve really found something special.” Researchers believe that this discovery might one day be key to helping humans fight diseases such as cancer that attack the immune system and damage DNA. 25.
