Genomic studies of canine tumours have been done for individual cancer types or dog breeds. Here the authors analyse canine tumour genomics data across multiple breeds and cancer types, finding that mutational burden is associated with TP53 mutations and that Golden Retrievers are enriched for particular signatures.
