Differential responses of Lasiopodomys mandarinus and Lasiopodomys brandtii to chronic hypoxia: a cross-species brain transcriptome analysis

Abstract Background Subterranean rodents have evolved many features to adapt to their hypoxic environment. The brain is an organ that is particularly vulnerable to damage caused by exposure to hypoxic conditions. To investigate the mechanisms of adaption to a hypoxic underground environment, we carr...
