Contemporary and historical selection in Tasmanian devils ( Sarcophilus harrisii ) support novel, polygenic response to transmissible cancer

26 May 2021

Abstract excerpt

) are evolving in response to a unique transmissible cancer, devil facial tumour disease (DFTD), first described in 1996. Persistence of wild populations and the recent emergence of a second independently evolved transmissible cancer suggest that transmissible cancers may be a recurrent feature in devils. Here, we compared signatures of selection across temporal scales to determine whether genes or gene pathways...
