WGS and Reseq data for Anser Project
Previous research has revealed morphological, physiological and genetic adaptations to cope with cold, hypoxia and decreased lift in the thin air, however, genome-wide assessments of molecular adaptations are lacking. To identify the full range of derived molecular adaptations underpinning its remarkable abilities, we generated and compared high-quality genomes of the bar-headed goose and four other goose species.
