Recurrent horizontal transfer identifies mitochondrial positive selection in a transmissible cancer
ANTONIO ORTEGA PACHECO; JOSE SIMON MARTINEZ CASTAÑEDAAutonomous replication and segregation of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) creates the potential for evolutionary conflict driven by emergence of haplotypes under positive selection for ‘selfish’ traits, such as replicative ...
