    EthicsIRB: Ethical statement: Sample collection and research were performed with the approval of Institutional Review Board on Ethics Committee of BGI (Approval letter reference number BGI-NO.
    Field Sample Permit: The sampling procedures strictly followed the ‘Guidelines on Ethical Treatment of Experimental Animals’ established by the Ministry of Science and Technology, China. Sample collection and dissection: Bats used in this study were all male Rhinolophus sinicus (Chinese horseshoe bat) which were identified the species by the field experts, and obtained from Guangdong province, China, then dissected and stored in -80°C freezer immediately.
    Sex as a biological variableThe sampling procedures strictly followed the ‘Guidelines on Ethical Treatment of Experimental Animals’ established by the Ministry of Science and Technology, China. Sample collection and dissection: Bats used in this study were all male Rhinolophus sinicus (Chinese horseshoe bat) which were identified the species by the field experts, and obtained from Guangdong province, China, then dissected and stored in -80°C freezer immediately.

    SentencesResources
    After obtaining the single cell gene expression matrices, we used Seurat 3.2.224 to perform the downstream analysis.
    Seurat
    suggested: (SEURAT, RRID:SCR_007322)
    Cross-species data integration: To facilitate the comparation among four species, we first convert all genes of bats to the homogenous mouse genes using OrthoFinder26.
    OrthoFinder26
    suggested: None

    About SciScore

    SciScore is an automated tool that is designed to assist expert reviewers by finding and presenting formulaic information scattered throughout a paper in a standard, easy to digest format. SciScore checks for the presence and correctness of RRIDs (research resource identifiers), and for rigor criteria such as sex and investigator blinding. For details on the theoretical underpinning of rigor criteria and the tools shown here, including references cited, please follow this link.
