Is increased mutation driving genetic diversity in dogs within the Chornobyl exclusion zone?
Environmental contamination can have lasting impacts on surrounding communities, though the long-term impacts can be difficult to ascertain. The disaster at the Chornobyl Nuclear Power Plant in 1986 and subsequent remediation efforts resulted in contamination…
A new study finds that genetic compatibility and environmental factors - especially human and wastewater microbiomes - drive the spread of antibiotic resistance genes between bacteria.
