Selective sweep analysis of the adaptability of the Yarkand hare (Lepus yarkandensis) to hot arid environments using SLAF-seq.

Abstract excerpt

The Yarkand hare (Lepus yarkandensis) inhabits arid desert areas and is endemic to China. It has evolved various adaptations to survive in hot arid environments, including stress responses, the ability to maintain water homeostasis and heat tolerance. Here, we performed a selective sweep analysis to identify the candidate genes for adaptation to hot arid environments in the Yarkand hare. A total of 397 237...
