Widespread signals of convergent adaptation to high altitude in Asia and america.

American journal of human genetics - 2 Oct 2014

Abstract excerpt

Living at high altitude is one of the most difficult challenges that humans had to cope with during their evolution. Whereas several genomic studies have revealed some of the genetic bases of adaptations in Tibetan, Andean, and Ethiopian populations, relatively little evidence of convergent evolution to altitude in different continents has accumulated. This lack of evidence can be due to truly different...
