    The mention genetic changes, but didn’t mention any gene names. I would have been interested to see something like TP53 duplications but there’s no way enough time would have passed for that to occur. It’s not super clear whether the population changes reflect a bottleneck or specific, advantageous mutations to cancer resistance.

      You’d want to look at the actual paper or at least a more science focused report on it for information like that.

        I would except it doesn’t appear to be published yet, the article mentions the data was from a conference presentation.
