Abstract excerpt
Canine transmissible venereal tumour (CTVT) has been transmitted by cell transplantation from dog to dog, for over 10 000 years. Although initial studies report a single genetic origin for CTVT, recent samples from around the world reveal high genetic diversity. An elevated number of polymorphisms have been determined in mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) of CTVT. The recent discovery of mtDNA transference from the host...
