Chernobyl, Radiation

Chernobyl’s Stray Dogs Are Genetically Distinct—But Radiation Isn’t the Reason
Dogs living near the Chernobyl nuclear plant aren’t radioactive mutants—but their genetic differences reveal a surprising story.
Chernobyl’s feral dogs are genetically unique, but not mutated
Feral dogs living near Chernobyl differ genetically from their ancestors who survived the 1986 nuclear plant disaster—but these variations do not appear to stem from radioactivity-induced mutations. The new findings are helping experts contextualize how such ecological catastrophes influence the environment around them,
Radiation may not be why Chernobyl dogs show ‘dramatic’ genetic differences
Radiation may not be why Chernobyl dogs show ‘dramatic’ genetic differences - New study has implications for our understanding of nuclear radiation exposure effects on populations
Chornobyl dogs' genetic differences not due to mutation, study finds
Radiation-induced mutation is unlikely to have induced genetic differences between dog populations in Chernobyl City and the nearby Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant (NPP), according to a new study in PLOS ONE from North Carolina State University and Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health.
Chornobyl Dogs Have Genetic Differences but Not From Disaster Mutations

Chornobyl dogs show no nuclear radiation-induced mutations, scientists shocked
The previous study found 391 regions in the dog genomes that differed between the Chornobyl NPP and City populations — with some linked to DNA damage r
