A Mitochondrial Genome Sequence of the Tibetan Antelope (Pantholops Hodgsonii) [PDF]
Abstract To investigate genetic mechanisms of high altitude adaptations of native mammals on the Tibetan Plateau, we compared mitochondrial sequences of the endangered Pantholops hodgsonii with its lowland distant relatives Ovis aries and Capra hircus, as well as other mammals. The complete mitochondrial genome of P. hodgsonii (16,498 bp)

Y‐Chromosome Genetic Characterization Supports the Establishment of Calving Centered Protected Areas for Tibetan Antelope Conservation [PDF]
Tibetan antelope (Pantholops hodgsonii), the flagship species of the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau, is renowned for its hardiness and resistance to low oxygen. Most of the previous studies focused on mitochondria and autosomes, with fewer studies related to the ...

In vivo and in vitro development of Tibetan antelope (Pantholops hodgsonii) interspecific cloned embryos [PDF]
The Tibetan antelope is endemic to the Tibetan Plateau, China, and is now considered an endangered species. As a possible rescue strategy, the development of embryos constructed by interspecies somatic cell nuclear transfer (iSCNT) was examined.

Comprehensive profiling of antibiotic resistance, virulence genes, and mobile genetic elements in the gut microbiome of Tibetan antelopes [PDF]
Tibetan antelopes, native to high-altitude plateau regions, play an important role in the local ecosystem. Their gut harbors antimicrobial-resistant microbes, including potential pathogens. To explore this, we analyzed 33,925 metagenome-assembled genomes

<i>Blastocystis</i> infection in Tibetan antelopes (<i>Pantholops hodgsonii</i>) alters gut microbiota composition and function. [PDF]
Introduction The gut microbiota plays an important role in host environmental adaptation, including defense against pathogens. Parasite infections can disrupt gut microbial communities and thus influence host adaptability.

Genetic diversity of the Tibetan antelope (Pantholops hodgsonii) population of Ladakh, India, its relationship with other populations and conservation implications. [PDF]
The Tibetan antelope (Pantholops hodgsonii), or chiru, is an endangered antelope, distributed in China [Xinjiang, Xizang, Qinghai, Zhuolaihu Lake (Breeding habitat)], and India (Aksai Chin and Ladakh). There is a global demand for the species prized wool, which is used in weaving shahtoosh shawls.
