| hypoxia adaptations in the grey wolf (canis lupus chanco) from qinghai-tibet plateau. | the tibetan grey wolf (canis lupus chanco) occupies habitats on the qinghai-tibet plateau, a high altitude (>3000 m) environment where low oxygen tension exerts unique selection pressure on individuals to adapt to hypoxic conditions. to identify genes involved in hypoxia adaptation, we generated complete genome sequences of nine chinese wolves from high and low altitude populations at an average coverage of 25× coverage. we found that, beginning about 55,000 years ago, the highland tibetan grey ... | 2014 | 25078401 |
