Importance of metabolic rate to the relationship between the number of genes in a functional category and body size in Peto's paradox for cancer
Elucidation of tumour suppression mechanisms is a major challenge in cancer biology. Therefore, Peto's paradox, or low cancer incidence in large animals, has attracted focus. According to the gene-abundance hypothesis, which considers the increase/decrease in cancer-related genes with body size...
