On April 26, 1986, the worst nuclear disaster since World War II decimated Chernobyl in the Soviet Union. Nearly 40 years ...

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 ...

The next step in mutation breeding is to detect which plants have indeed produced the desired new traits. With recent breakthroughs in detection technologies we help Member States screen plants more ...

Genetic and biochemical data are assimilated to arrive at a current picture of UV-damage-induced mutagenesis. An unprecedented DNA polymerase V transactivation mechanism, which involves the RecA ...

Mutation breeding, in the case of self-pollinated crops that are disseminated by seed, is based on the self-fertilization – or selfing – of mutants until the induced desired character is stably ...

Radiation-induced mutation is unlikely to have induced genetic differences between dog populations in Chornobyl City and the nearby Chornobyl Nuclear Power Plant (NPP), according to a new study in ...

Dr. Norman Kleiman, a co-author of the study, said, “Most people think of the Chernobyl nuclear accident as a radiological ...

More than 1,000 different drugs are thought to cause liver damage and one French study estimated the global annual incidence rate of drug-related liver damage as 8 cases per 100,000 inhabitants ...

On April 26, 1986, the worst nuclear disaster since World War II decimated Chernobyl in the Soviet Union. Nearly 40 years later, a lot has changed. Chernobyl, for one, is now within the borders of ...

The study found “no evidence” of radiation-induced genetic mutations in the dogs. However, the researchers acknowledge that this does not exclude the possibility that other factors ...
