| 摘要 |
The present disclosure defines a method for identifying and characterizing radiation exposure after, for example, a nuclear event such as detonation of a nuclear weapon or a nuclear meltdown of a nuclear power plant, using changes in microbiomes. The present disclosure demonstrates that microbiomes are reproducibly and detectably altered by exposure to radiation. As described herein, microbial signatures can be used to characterize components of microbiomes that are altered by exposure to radiation. |
