Introgression drives adaptation to the plateau environment in a subterranean rodent

we used low-coverage whole-genome resequencing (LcWGR) to study the population genomics, high-altitude adaptation mechanism, and interspecific gene introgression of plateau zokors and Gansu zokors based on 19 populations across their distributions in China. The aim of this study was to clarify the adaptive evolutionary patterns of the plateau zokor and the Gansu zokor at the molecular level.
