  "summary": "Extreme environments impose strong selection pressures that can drive convergent adaptation among distantly related species. Arctic plants survive low temperatures, 24-hour light in summer and darkness in winter, short growing seasons, limited precipitation, nutrient-poor soils, and extreme seasonal variation. To test if these conditions are associated with shared genomic signatures, we generated…",
