P50 data on hybrid hemoglobin from high-altitude vertebrates interbreeding
Thu, Sept 19 2019
Dr. Jay Storz and Anthony Signore from University of Nebraska used our BOBS™ instrumentation to measure O2 affinity (P50) of hemoglobin from Tibetan wolves and mastiffs.
This new impressive research on Tibetan mastiffs gaining high-altitude adaptation by breeding with mountain wolves is highlighted on Live Science (https://www.livescience.com/tibetan-mastiff-wolf-genes.html).
