Whole genome bisulfite sequencing reveals unique adaptations to high-altitude environments in Tibetan chickens.

Tibetan chickens living at high altitudes show specific adaptations to high-altitude conditions, but the epigenetic modifications associated with these adaptations have not been characterized.We investigated the genome-wide DNA methylation patterns in Tibetan chicken blood by using whole genome bisu...
