Conjoint analysis reveals renal structural and omic shifts in yaks across altitudes, highlighting metabolic mechanisms of high-altitude adaptation.
Yaks have unique adaptive mechanisms to the hypoxic environment, in which the kidney plays an important role. The aim of this study was to explore the histological changes of yak kidney at different altitudes and the metabolites and genes associated with adaptation to the hypoxic environment.
