Transcriptome sequencing of the naked mole rat (Heterocephalus glaber) and identification of hypoxia tolerance genes

The naked mole rat (NMR; Heterocephalus glaber) is a small rodent species found in regions of Kenya, Ethiopia and Somalia. It has a high tolerance for hypoxia and is thus considered one of the most important natural models for studying hypoxia tolerance mechanisms. The various mechanisms underlying...
