The paper examines HIF gene family evolution and hypoxia transcriptional responses in hypoxia-tolerant and non-tolerant reptiles, finding distinct regulatory mechanisms in sea turtles.

This study investigates how sea turtle and lizard cells respond to hypoxia, finding that sea turtle cells adapt more effectively by optimizing oxygen use and maintaining mitochondrial structure.

This study investigates how prolonged fasting and glucocorticoids affect DNA methylation in elephant seals, finding transient increases in blood methylation and decreased methylation in muscle cells with glucocorticoid exposure.
