Shared and Unique Signals of High-Altitude Adaptation in Geographically Distinct Tibetan Populations

Recent studies have used a variety of analytical methods to identify genes targeted by selection in high-altitude populations located throughout the Tibetan Plateau. Despite differences in analytic strategies and sample location, hypoxia-related genes, including EPAS1 and EGLN1, were identified in m...
