Whole-genome resequencing to investigate the genetic diversity and the molecular basis underlying key economic traits in indigenous sheep breeds adapted to hypoxic environments

Under the combined effects of long-term natural selection and artificial domestication, Tibetan sheep on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau have evolved distinct ecotypes to survive extreme high-altitude conditions, including hypoxia, cold, and low oxygen levels. These ecotypic variations not only serve as a...
