About the paper:
Scope: We developed a simple PCR-based diagnostic assay to identify and distinguish two transmissible cancer lineages in cockles (CedBTN1 and CedBTN2) by amplifying DNA across two tumor-specific deletions. The assay showed high sensitivity and specificity in testing 88 samples. This fast, cost-effective, and easy-to-use method enables reliable disease monitoring and detection of new affected areas, providing all laboratories with an accessible tool. My contribution: I am a first-author because I contributed to project design, I mentored a bachelor student that performed initial work, I collected and processed some samples, I performed bioinformatic analysis, I prepared figures and I drafted some sections of the article.
