The draft genome of the blood pheasant (Ithaginis cruentus): Phylogeny and high‐altitude adaptation

Abstract The blood pheasant (Ithaginis cruentus), the only species in the genus Ithaginis, lives in an extremely inhospitable high‐altitude environment, coping with hypoxia and ultraviolet (UV) radiation. To further investigate the phylogeny of Phasianidae species based on complete genomes and under...
