Elephant Genomes Reveal Accelerated Evolution in Mechanisms Underlying Disease Defenses
Disease susceptibility and resistance are important factors for the conservation of endangered species, including elephants. We analyzed pathology data from 26 zoos and report that Asian elephants have increased neoplasia and malignancy prevalence compared with African bush elephants. This is consis...
