First whole-genome sequence of a Greenland shark holds clues to their extreme longevity
First whole-genome sequence of a Greenland shark holds clues to their extreme longevity A genomic study of Greenland sharks, thought to be the longest-lived vertebrates on the planet, is hinting at the secrets to their epic lifespan and cancer resistance. The first-ever whole-genome sequence of a Greenland shark has revealed genetic clues to how the animals avoid cancer and live for hundreds of years. The work may pave the way to a better understanding of age-related diseases in humans.
