Convergent evolution of a genomic rearrangement may explain cancer resistance in hystrico- and sciuromorpha rodents
Abstract The rodents of hystricomorpha and sciuromorpha suborders exhibit remarkably lower incidence of cancer. The underlying genetic basis remains obscure. We report a convergent evolutionary split of human 3p21.31, a locus hosting a large number of tumour-suppressor genes (TSGs) and frequently de...
