Online today in Science Magazine! We observe a similar distribution of de novo mutations in children of Chernobyl cleanup workers and evacuees as seen in the general population, suggesting a lack of transgenerational effect. Meredith Yeager @NCIChanock science.sciencemag.org/content/early/…
Our paper exploring the effects of #Chernobyl radiation on human #mutation is out today in Science Magazine! Now, 35 years since the disaster, Meredith Yeager et al. report that children born to exposed parents do NOT have elevated mutation counts. (1/6) ➡️science.sciencemag.org/content/early/…
FOMO for missing #SMBEv2021? (we tried to warn you) Don't fear. Society for Molecular Biology and Evolution believes in making great science available and inclusive to all. All talks (keynotes, graduate student excellence awardees, parallel symposia) will be made available on Vimeo 1/
