Adaptations to a Subterranean Environment and Longevity Revealed by the Analysis of Mole Rat Genomes

Adaptations to a Subterranean Environment and Longevity Revealed by the Analysis of Mole Rat Genomes

Subterranean mammals spend their lives in dark, unventilated environments that are rich in carbon dioxide and ammonia and low in oxygen. Many of these animals are also long-lived and exhibit reduced aging-associated diseases, such as neurodegenerative disorders and cancer. We sequenced the genome of...
