Convergent genomic signatures of high-altitude adaptation among domestic mammals.

Abstract: Abundant and diverse domestic mammals living on the Tibetan Plateau provide useful materials for investigating adaptive evolution and genetic convergence. Here, we used 327 genomes from horses, sheep, goats, cattle, pigs and dogs living at both high and low altitudes, including 73 genomes generated for this study, to disentangle the genetic mechanisms underlying local adaptation of domestic mammals. Although molecular convergence is comparatively rare at the DNA sequence level, we found convergent signature of positive selection at the gene level, particularly the gene in these Tibetan domestic mammals. We also reported a potential function in response to hypoxia for the gene , which underwent positive selection in three of the domestic mammals. Our data provide an insight into adaptive evolution of high-altitude domestic mammals, and should facilitate the search for additional novel genes involved in the hypoxia response pathway.

This latest research used an extensive compilation of genomic data to uncover mechanisms that have allowed various species of domestic animals to adapt to the harsh environments present at high altitudes, particularly the hypoxic conditions on the Tibetan Plateau.

Study Overview

  • The study is focused on understanding the genetic patterns that allow domestic animals, including horses, sheep, goats, cattle, pigs, and dogs, to survive in extreme high-altitude environments such as the Tibetan Plateau.
  • The researchers compiled a significant dataset, including 327 genomes from these animals living at various altitudes, and 73 entirely new genomes sequenced exclusively for this study.

Key Findings

  • One of the most significant findings from this study was the observation of convergent positive selection at the gene level, especially in the HIF-1α gene in these Tibetan domestic mammals.
  • Positive selection refers to the preferential survival and reproduction of individuals with certain genetic traits, which may give a species a significant survival advantage in certain environments.
  • The HIF-1α gene plays a key role in the body’s response to low oxygen levels or hypoxia, common in high-altitude conditions. Hence, the evidence of positive selection in this gene implied it played a critical role in the high-altitude adaptation of these animals.
  • The researchers also found evidence of positive selection in the EPAS1 gene in three of the domestic animals. This gene is also known to be involved in the hypoxia response pathway, suggesting it too may play a role in high-altitude adaptation.

Implications and Future Directions

  • The findings provide a new understanding of how adaptive evolution has occurred among high-altitude domestic mammals and how these animals have used genetic change to survive in harsh hypoxic conditions.
  • Additionally, this research can aid future genome studies by identifying specific genes, like HIF-1α and EPAS1, as key targets when studying high-altitude adaptation.
