A bit of a dry subject to be sure, but I had never heard of infectious cancers before.
In summary: a lot of information on how canines are related to each other. With a short segment how there is an infectious cancer found on dogs that is genetically different from any existing breed and as such could be considered it's own species.
- rolph 10mo agoit is possible for an oncocyte [cancerous cell] to lose the features that define it as a subunit of tissue. in this case warts, or tumour cells may be transplanted during surgery, to a person that has nicked themselves with a scalpel or other such instrument, it is not impossible for a technician to have this happen while preparing a biopsy. the way a virus promotes cancer is by inserting, into genetic locus [address] that is close enough to the start of an "oncogene" that cancer results.
