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.
