Evolution of Hemoglobin Genes in a Subterranean Rodent Species (<i>Lasiopodomys mandarinus</i>)
The Mandarin vole (<i>Lasiopodomys mandarinus</i>), a typical subterranean rodent, has undergone hematological adaptations to tolerate the hypoxic/hypercapnic underground environment. Hemoglobin (Hb) genes encode respiratory proteins functioning principally in oxygen binding and transpor...
