Tibetan Mastiff has adapted to the extreme environment of the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau. Yet, the underlying mechanisms of its high-altitude-adaptation and origin remains elusive. Here, we generated the draft genomes of Mongolia Mastiff, Tibetan Mastiff, and Canis Lupus. The phylogenetic tree uncovered that Tibetan Mastiff and Mongolia Mastiff were derived from Canis Lupus species. The comparative genomic analyses identified that the expansion of gene families related to DNA repair and damage response, and contraction related to ATPase activity revealed the genetic adaptations of Tibetan Mastiff and Canis Lupus to high altitude. In addition, the Tibetan Mastiff and Canis Lupus had signals of positive selection for genes involved in fatty-acid α/β- oxidation for highland adaptation. Notably, the positively selected TERT of Tibetan Mastiff should be an adaptive trait for correcting DNA damage. These findings suggested that the Tibetan Mastiff and Canis Lupus evolves basic strategies for adaptation to high altitude
