How to understand the genetic traits of this unique night creatures can help prevent it from becoming an endless

Aiya is a rare, night lameer from Madagascar. They easily stand with their big eyes, vague round ears and pointed long fingers. These are all the traits that help at night in the traps for their tasty larvae at night. II is also one of the 25 most risky premiere in the world, and is at risk of completely disappearing. Our planet is currently undergoing its sixth mass, and scientists estimate that in the coming decades we can lose one of the eight species. This is more important than ever to determine health and environmental challenges for risk species.

From the point of view of genetics, there is little change in the DNA in the EEs, which can cause all of them to suffer from diseases, without which unique uniqueness without individual genetic traits. Their low genetic diversity also makes it difficult to adapt to the changing conditions with their residences. By getting a better understanding of the genetic properties of the animal, such as Ay-Aee and how they change over time, researchers can help prevent these animals from disappearing.

For this great endeavor, researchers from the Center for Evolution and Medicine at Arizona State University (ASU) have now analyzed the genome and studied its features for the first time. The first complete genome for Aye-Aee was completed 10 years ago and was once again improved in 2023, but the lack of knowledge around Ay-AEE’s genes made it incredibly difficult to understand how they were ready over time. These ASU scientists have now completed a new, high-quality version of Ay-AIEEeeeeo with complete genes interpretation, which can find the symbols of positive choice more accurately, where the chances of survival of the people are better in their environment and leaves the next generation of descendants. Their goal was to find out how the DNA of AYE-AEE changed over time, and whether the changes were random or part of a positive choice.

Researchers first created a baseline model to highlight the history of AYE-AEE-which shows that humans arrived at Madagskar 3,000 to 5,000 years ago, and recently reduced their residence after harvesting forests. With this detailed model that shows samples and settlements in the history of the II, researchers can then look for positive choices, DNA regions where a mutation spreads to their population. Researchers also sought a balanced choice, which maintains genetic diversity in the population for a long time, which can be beneficial for the IEE in variations.

ASU researchers have only found a small genes that are formed by a positive choice. It also includes genes related to their strong sense of smell. Since Ice is a night of night, they relies heavily on their nose to visit your surroundings, talk, search for colleagues, and apply for food. This study has made it clear how important the smell is for the survival of the smell. They also found genes associated with sperm development, which may be linked to changes in their already complex reproduction habits, where both men and women are in harmony with multiple partners in a growing season that can increase genetic mixing and sperm.

The EIs will continue to struggle for survival as the destruction of the residence and climate change increases more, and their genes will change. But this study is an important step to understand the traits needed for the survival of AYE-aees, including the development of data tools to collect these important data that leads to protection efforts, including enhancement programs and residence recovery to prevent these unique creatures from becoming extinct.
