Musko oxen and reindeer, the sole ruminant species, have evolved to flourish within the challenging Arctic environment. Despite this, the genetic foundation for this Arctic adaptation is still largely unknown. To identify convergent amino acid substitutions, rapidly evolving genes, and genes subject to positive selection, we juxtaposed a de novo assembled muskox genome with genomes of reindeer and other ruminants. These candidate genes are strongly corr
