Multilevel selection on transposition rates in cancer

University of Reading Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology

Cancer is an evolutionary process. Cells in a tumour vary due to mutation, and so over many generations they adapt in response to both intrinsic selective pressures (such as anoxia) and extrinsic selective pressures (such as chemotherapy). Read more
