Genomic insights into Yak (Bos grunniens) adaptations for nutrient assimilation in high-altitudes

Abstract High-altitude environments present formidable challenges for survival and reproduction, with organisms facing limited oxygen availability and scarce nutrient resources. The yak (Bos grunniens), indigenous to the Tibetan Plateau, has notably adapted to these extreme conditions. This study de...
