Genomic analysis of natural selection and phenotypic variation in high-altitude mongolians.

Genomic analysis of natural selection and phenotypic variation in high-altitude mongolians.

Deedu (DU) Mongolians, who migrated from the Mongolian steppes to the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau approximately 500 years ago, are challenged by environmental conditions similar to native Tibetan highlanders. Identification of adaptive genetic factors in this population could provide insight into coordi...
