Chernobyl Dogs’ DNA Reveals Wild Twist

Chernobyl’s dogs have some seriously unique genes, but it’s not what you’d expect! Scientists thought radiation would be the big culprit behind their DNA changes, but after zooming in on their genomes, they found no wild mutation spikes. Turns out, the differences are more about separate breeding pools and other environmental nasties like heavy metals. Basically, Chernobyl’s pups are survivors in more ways than one—and their DNA is telling a whole new story about life after disaster. #ChernobylDogs #Genetics #ScienceNews #Science
