A high-quality chromosome-level reference genome assembly of Tibetan antelope (Pantholops hodgsonii)
November 13, 2024 Tibetan antelope, a wild ruminant endemic to the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateauin China, has evolved a series of genetic and physiological adaptation strategies to thrive in the harsh plateau environments.
Soil microbial network complexity predicts soil multifunctionality better than soil microbial diversity during grassland-farmland-shrubland conversion on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau
November 12, 2024 In this study, we evaluated the effects of land-use changes from alpine grassland to farmland to shrubland on soil factors and soil microbial characteristics and investigated the associations between aboveground bioma...
Identification of Candidate Genes Related to Hybrid Sterility by Genomic Structural Variation and Transcriptome Analyses in Cattle-yak
October 18, 2024 Notably, we discovered that the expression of X chromosome-linkedgenes was upregulated in the testis of cattle-yak compared with yak, suggesting a possible abnormality in the process of meiotic sex chromosome inactiva...
