Integrated transcriptome and metabolome analyses unraveled critical roles of small intestine during the weaning period of Vespertilio sinensis

Abstract Background Weaning represents a critical period during which mammals adapt to solid food and develop their immune systems. The intestine, as the primary digestive and immune organ, is central to successful weaning. Bats are the only flying mammals and undergo ontogenetic shifts in flight an...
