Mitochondrial genome sequencing of marine leukaemias reveals cancer contagion between clam species in the Seas of Southern Europe

Published in eLife, 2022

This paper is about a new contagious cancer affecting the warty venus clam that was originated in the striped venus clam and it is currently found in the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean.

Novel PCR assay for the identification of two transmissible cancers in Cerastoderma edule.

Published in Journal of Invertebrate Pathology, 2024

This paper we developed a simple PCR-based diagnostic assay to identify and distinguish two transmissible cancer lineages in cockles by amplifying DNA across two tumor-specific deletions.
