Background High-altitude adaptation provides an excellent system for studying how
organisms cope with multiple environmental stressors and interacting genetic modifications …

Background Genome-wide investigation of molecular mechanisms for high-altitude
adaptation has attracted great attention in the last few years. In order to understand the …

Background Understanding how organisms adapt to high-elevation environments at a
genome scale provides novel insights into the process of adaptive evolution. Previous …

Simple Summary In this study, we conducted a comparative genomics approach to explore
the convergent evolution of high-altitude adaptation mechanisms in six independently …

Recent studies of humans, dogs and rodents have started to discover the genetic
underpinnings of high altitude adaptations, yet amphibians have received little attention in …

Background Although the extreme environmental adaptation of organisms is a hot topic in
evolutionary biology, genetic adaptation to high-altitude environment remains poorly …

High elevation adaptation offers an excellent study system to understand the genetic basis
of adaptive evolution. We acquired transcriptome sequences of two closely related lizards …

Background The high-altitude-adapted frog Rana kukunoris, occurring on the Tibetan
plateau, is an excellent model to study life history evolution and adaptation to harsh high …

Genome-wide studies on high-altitude adaptation have received increased attention as a
classical case of organismal evolution under extreme environment. However, the current …

Abundant and diverse domestic mammals living on the Tibetan Plateau provide useful
materials for investigating adaptive evolution and genetic convergence. Here, we used 327 …
