Description

Principal Investigator: Chad D. Huff, PhD, University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, Houston, TX, USA MeSH: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/projects/gap/cgi-bin/study.cgi?study_id=phs001338 Due to a unique adaptation to high altitude, the Tibetan Plateau population has been the subject of much research interest. In this study, we conducted whole genome sequencing of 27 Tibetan individuals. Through our analysis, we inferred a detailed history of demography and revealed the natural selection of Tibetan population. We provided evidence of genetic separation between the two subpopulations of Han and Tibetans as early as 44 to 58 thousand years ago, replicated previously reported high altitude adaptation genes, including *EPAS1* and *EGLN1*, and reported three new candidate genes, including *PTGIS*, *VDR*, and *KCTD12*.
