Abstract excerpt
The Qingzang Plateau, with its harsh environmental conditions-low oxygen, high ultraviolet radiation and significant temperature fluctuations-demands specialised adaptations for survival. While genetic adaptations have been extensively studied, gene expression's role in amphibian adaptation to high elevations remains understudied. This study analysed pulmonary gene expression in 119 amphibians across the plateau...
