From: Low-dose radiation, scientific scrutiny, and requirements for demonstrating effects
Analyses | Expectations |
---|---|
Density-dependence | Greater frequency of abnormalities at high population density |
Capture probability | Minor abnormalities and smaller size should increase the probability of capture and hence the frequency estimate |
Genome-wide sequencing to quantify mutations | Greater frequency of mutations in specimens from Fukushima than in control areas, increasing frequency across generations due to mutation accumulation, and greater frequency in irradiated animals from the laboratory compared to controls. |
