A towering genome: Experimentally validated adaptations to high blood pressure and extreme stature in the giraffe

Abstract excerpt

show exceptional hypertension resistance and higher bone mineral density, both of which are tightly connected with giraffe adaptations to high stature. Our results facilitate a deeper understanding of the molecular mechanism underpinning distinct giraffe traits, and may provide insights into the study of hypertension in humans.
