Elephant Genomes Elucidate Disease Defenses and Other Traits

2020-05-31

Abstract excerpt

Disease susceptibility and resistance comprise important factors in conservation, particularly in elephants. To determine genetic mechanisms underlying disease resistance and other unique elephant traits, we estimated 862 and 1,017 potential regulatory elements in Asian and African elephants, respectively. These elements are significantly enriched in both species with differentially expressed genes involved in imm...
