Researchers at the University of Chicago wanted to understand why less than 5% of elephants die from cancer . They discovered that a "zombie gene" produced by elephants could be the answer. One way that elephants are different from humans and other animals is that they carry 20 copies of a "master tumor suppressor" gene . "The 'master tumor suppressor' can trigger a 'zombie gene' that will kill cells in damaged DNA," Vincent Lynch, lead author of the study from the University of Chicago , told USA Today. "Researchers say that more studies on how elephant genes work to kill cells in damaged DNA may be beneficial for humans ," said Joshua Schiffman, a professor of pediatrics at the University of Utah.
