Hras is a protector against noise-induced hearing loss derived from the resistance to hair-cell damage in echolocating bats

In the current work, we established the echolocating eastern bent-winged bat (Miniopterus fuliginosus, MFU) as a pioneering model for investigating mechanisms to prevent NIHL. We sequenced the MFU genome for genome-wide transcriptome analysis, and conducted RNA-seq of control and 24 hours post noise exposure (24HPN) cochleae using MFU as the noise-resistant model. To ensure the reliability of the data, three biological replicates were performed for each group.
