- Observation In demographic modeling the Liujiaxia lineage diverged first, approximately 470,000 years ago
- Mechanism Glaciation-induced isolation is a likely cause of the early divergence of the Liujiaxia lineage
- Association Significant asymmetric gene flow was detected between the Hetao and Sanmenxia lineages
- Association Candidate genes for local adaptation in each lineage relate to environmental stress responses, DNA damage repair and pathogen defense
