Discover resources for information on Tibetan adaptation to high altitude (hypoxia) from the Center for Research on Tibet at Case Western Reserve University. Center Co-Director, Cynthia Beall's ...

Newly sequenced Native genomes showcase a wealth of surprises, from previously unknown populations to unique high-altitude adaptations.

An international research team has put together the first gelada reference genome, assembled from a single wild adult female gelada from the Simien Mountains, Ethiopia. They combined it with a ...

Living near the Tibetan Plateau, often referred to as "The Roof of the World," may have more benefits than scenic pleasure. A new study has found that humans native to high-altitude areas may have a ...

(SALT LAKE CITY) – In an environment where others struggle to survive, Tibetans thrive in the thin air on the Tibetan Plateau, with an average elevation of 14,800 feet. A University of Utah led ...

High-altitude environments impose unique physiological challenges due to reduced atmospheric oxygen levels. Mammals native to these regions exhibit a range of adaptations that enhance oxygen uptake, ...

DNA sequencing technology makes it possible to explore the genome to learn how humans adapted to live in a wide range of environments. Research has shown, for instance, that Tibetans living at high ...

In this episode of Tiny Show and Tell Us, we discuss the differences between e-cigarettes (vapes) and far-less-studied dry herb vaporizers. Then we talk about some of the incredible evolutionary ...

In this episode of Tiny Show and Tell Us, Sam and Deboki cover the role parrotfish poop may play in your next beach vacation and how the molecule 2,3-BPG helps people adapt to high altitudes and more.

Amongst the high mountain meadows and grasslands of the Ethiopian plateau stands one primate, the gelada–the “bleeding heart” monkey named for its brilliant red chest. Geladas are the last of their ...
