This project investigates transmissible cancers in marine bivalves, exploring their origins and evolutionary mechanisms. By conducting a comparative genomic study, it aims to uncover insights into how these unique cancers arise and spread, contributing to our understanding of tumor evolution.
Cancers are proliferative outgrowths of abnormal cells driven by a selfish evolutionary programme.
Most cancers arise from and remain within the bodies of their respective host individuals.
Rarely, however, cancers may escape their hosts to become ‘transmissible cancers’, infectious cell lineages that spread between individuals by direct transfer of cancer cells.
As parasitic cancers capable of surviving for millennia, transmissible cancers offer a unique model for exploring how mutation, select…
