Fig. 3.1. Phylogenetic tree of mtCOI sequences from healthy (88, 89) and neoplastic (143, 144, 157, 158) L. balthicaindividuals. Numbers above the nodes indicate bootstrap values; values below 50 are not shown. Common cancer lineage observed in several neoplastic clams is highlighted in red. Scale bar represents genetic distance between sequences. T or H: sequence obtained from solid tissue (T) or haemolymph (H) of each clam; b-f – allele labels.
Tab. 3.1. mtCOI alleles associated with haemolymph (H) and host solid tissue (T) found in tested individuals, cancer-associated allele is highlighted in red.
