Genomic analysis of hypoxia inducible factor alpha in ray-finned fishes reveals missing Ohnologs and evidence of widespread positive selection

Abstract As aquatic hypoxia worsens on a global scale, fishes will become increasingly challenged by low oxygen, and understanding the molecular basis of their response to hypoxia may help to better define the capacity of fishes to cope with this challenge. The hypoxia inducible factor (HIF) plays a...
