Gene expression variations in high-altitude adaptation: a case study of the Asiatic toad (Bufo gargarizans)

Abstract Background Genome-wide investigation of molecular mechanisms for high-altitude adaptation has attracted great attention in the last few years. In order to understand the contribution of gene expression level variations to high-altitude adaptation in Asiatic toads (Bufo gargarizans), we impl...
