Complex associations between cancer progression and immune gene expression reveals early influence of transmissible cancer on Tasmanian devils

Complex associations between cancer progression and immune gene expression reveals early influence of transmissible cancer on Tasmanian devils

The world’s largest extant carnivorous marsupial, the Tasmanian devil, is challenged by Devil Facial Tumor Disease (DFTD), a fatal, clonally transmitted cancer. In two decades, DFTD has spread across 95% of the species distributional range. A previous study has shown that factors such as season, geo...
