Recurrent horizontal transfer identifies mitochondrial positive selection in a transmissible cancer

Recurrent horizontal transfer identifies mitochondrial positive selection in a transmissible cancer

The competitive dynamics of mitochondrial haplotypes juxtaposed within the same cell are poorly studied. Here the authors show, in the context of a transmissible cancer, that one haplotype has recurrently entered cancer cells by horizontal transfer and appears to have a ‘selfish’ selective advantage...
