- Abstract
The article reports the localization of erythropoietin gene to chromosome 1q. This is the first gene to be mapped on Spalax chromosomes. Erythropoietin is the main regulator of the circulating red blood cells, however, it also stimulates neovascularization. Four Spalax species of the Spalax ehrenbergi superspecies reside in Israel in different climatic regions. Spalax is adapted to underground life and is highly tolerant to hypoxia due to respiratory and cardiovascular adaptations.
