"By comparing the highest-elevation frog, Nanorana parkeri, with its low-elevation relatives, we showed higher UV tolerance in N. parkeri after a time course UV exposure. Combined a chromosome-level reference genome of N. parkeri with large-scale transcriptomic and microRNA (miRNA) profiling, we showed a temporal expression pattern of UV defense genes in N. parkeri. Some miRNAs correlate with both cell cycle and immune genes in expression, suggesting their regulatory role involved in UV defense."
