HYPERCAN explores the evolutionary dynamics of transmissible cancers in mussels, focusing on the role of hyperploidy in maintaining genetic diversity. The project aims to understand how these cancers evolve and persist over time, providing insights into long-lived cancer mechanisms.
Transmissible cancers are fascinating recently discovered biological entities.
They have acquired the ability to cross host boundaries and spread between animals, even sometimes interspecifically, by the direct transfer of cancerous cells.
In addition, despite asexual reproduction they have been shown to persist for hundreds or thousands of years in host populations.
Importantly, in the absence of known sexual-like reproduction mechanism, transmissible cancers must cope with clonal degeneration.…
