a, Schematic of experimental design and sample collection for whole-genome sequencing (WGS). Samples included bowhead whale tumours (n = 9), human tumours (n = 2), and a mouse tumour (n = 1). b, Relative percentages of single-nucleotide variant (SNV) types across species. c–e, Quantification of total SNVs and small indels (1–10 bp) across species. f–h, Large structural variants (SVs > 6 kb) across species. i, Distribution of SV sizes shown as histograms with trend lines. j, Distribution of small (6–50 kb), medium (50–500 kb), and large (> 500 kb) deletions and SVs across species. Data are presented as mean ± SD. P values were calculated using one-way ANOVA with Tukey’s multiple comparisons (c–h) or chi-square test (j). The schematic summary was created with BioRender, Perelli, L. (2025) https://BioRender.com/i3xnjs4.
