The devil is in the details: Genomics of transmissible cancers in Tasmanian devils

2 Aug 2018

Abstract excerpt

Cancer poses one of the greatest human health threats of our time. Fortunately, aside from a few rare cases of cancer transmission in immune-suppressed organ transplant recipients or a small number of transmission events from mother to fetus, cancers are not spread from human to human. However, transmissible cancers have been detected in vertebrate and invertebrate animals, sometimes with devastating effects....
