CRL-3216suggested: Nonel1-Hybridomasuggested: NoneVSVsuggested: NoneNext they were incubated with the mouse monoclonal antibody targeting Flag tag (9A3, #8146S, antibody targeting Flag tag ( 9A3suggested: (Cell Signaling Technology Cat# 8146, RRID:AB_10950495)After three rounds of PBS washing, cells were subsequently incubated with 2 μg/ml of the secondary goat anti-rabbit antibody conjugated with Alexa Fluor 594 (A11032, Thermo Fisher Scientific, United States) diluted in 1% BSA /PBS at room temperature for 30 mins. anti-rabbitsuggested: NoneA11032suggested: (Molecular Probes Cat# A-11032, RRID:AB_2534091)Cells were subsequently incubated with a mouse monoclonal antibody SARS-CoV/SARS-CoV-2 Nucleocapsid Antibody (40143-MM05, Sino Biological, China) at 1:500 at 37°C for 1 hour, and then incubated with 2μg/ml of goat anti-mouse secondary antibody, Alexa Fluor 594 (A-11032, Thermo Fisher Scientific) at 37°C for 1 hour. anti-mousesuggested: (Molecular Probes Cat# A-11032, RRID:AB_2534091)Experimental Models: Cell Lines Sentences Resources Cell culture: HEK293T cells (293T, ATCC, CRL-3216) and VERO-E6 cells (ATCC, CRL-1586) were cultured in Dulbecco’s modified Eagle’s medium (DMEM; Gibco) supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS), 2.0 mM L-Glutamine, 110 mg/L sodium pyruvate, and 4.5 g/L D-glucose. l1-Hybridoma (CRL-2700) secreting a monoclonal antibody targeting against VSV glycoprotein was cultured in Minimum Essential Medium with Earle’s salts and 2.0 mM L-Glutamine (MEM; Gibco). HEK293Tsuggested: NoneCoronavirus RBD-hFc binding assay: Recombinant SARS-CoV-RBD-hFc and SARS-CoV-2-RBD-hFc proteins were produced by transient transfection of 293T cells with Lipofectamine 3000. 293Tsuggested: NoneSARS-CoV-2 was amplified on Vero-E6 cells and stored at −150°C, and the titer was determined on Vero-E6 cells through a plaque assay. Vero-E6suggested: NoneSoftware and Algorithms Sentences Resources Next, we aligned the deduced ACE2 protein sequences using the MUSCLE program ( MUSCLEsuggested: (MUSCLE, RRID:SCR_011812)The sequence logo was generated with WebLogo (https://weblogo.berkeley.edu/logo.cgi). WebLogosuggested: (WEBLOGO, RRID:SCR_010236)We performed selective pressure analysis on bat ACE2 using CodeML implemented in PAML (24). PAMLsuggested: (PAML, RRID:SCR_014932)Homology-based structural modeling: Molecular models of different bat ACE2 were predicted by I-TASSER (Iterative Threading ASSEmbly Refinement) version 5.1 (31). I-TASSERsuggested: (I-TASSER, RRID:SCR_014627)The structural alignment and visualization were implemented in PyMOL (33).

Researchers are encouraged to share open data when possible (see Nature blog).
Results from LimitationRecognizer: An explicit section about the limitations of the techniques employed in this study was not found. We encourage authors to address study limitations.Results from TrialIdentifier: No clinical trial numbers were referenced.
Results from Barzooka: We found bar graphs of continuous data. We recommend replacing bar graphs with more informative graphics, as many different datasets can lead to the same bar graph. The actual data may suggest different conclusions from the summary statistics. For more information, please see Weissgerber et al (2015).
Results from JetFighter: We did not find any issues relating to colormaps.
