The stray dogs that roam the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone have become unlikely protagonists in a scientific debate about how life ...

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.

When photos of bright blue dogs wandering through the ruins of Chernobyl began circulating online, the internet leapt to a ...

Radiation-induced mutations may not be the reason for the genetic differences between dog populations living near the Chernobyl nuclear power plant, according to a new study. The study, published on ...

For nearly 40 years, the Chernobyl exclusion zone (CEZ) has been a laboratory for scientists to study the long-term effects of radiation exposure. One of the ongoing subjects in this unintentional ...

In 1986, the Chernobyl nuclear reactor in the Soviet Union, now in Ukraine, exploded, spewing massive amounts of radioactive material into the environment. Almost four decades later, the stray dogs ...

Radiation-induced mutation is unlikely to have induced genetic differences between dog populations in Chornobyl City and the nearby Chornobyl Nuclear Power Plant. Radiation-induced mutation is ...

After the Chernobyl nuclear accident, scientists wondered whether the dogs living in the area are undergoing rapid evolution, ...

While dogs are often thought to be our best friends, and we’ve been living alongside them for thousands of years, we’re still finding out new things about them all the time. Some of these are on a ...
