Identifying Genomic Signatures of Positive Selection to Predict Protective Genomic Loci in the Cohort of Lithuanian Clean-Up Workers of the Chornobyl Nuclear Disaster

Identifying Genomic Signatures of Positive Selection to Predict Protective Genomic Loci in the Cohort of Lithuanian Clean-Up Workers of the Chornobyl Nuclear Disaster

Some people resist or recover from health challenges better than others. We studied Lithuanian clean-up workers of the Chornobyl nuclear disaster (LCWC) who worked in the harshest conditions and, despite high ionising radiation doses as well as other factors, continue ageing relatively healthily. Th...
