Table 2 Average heterozygosity and inbreeding calculations across Nuclear Power Plant (NPP) and Chernobyl City (CC) populations. Observed and expected heterozygosity were calculated per locus and averaged across loci and individuals for each population. Paired t-tests were used to test for significant differences between populations, and both measures were found to be significantly different between populations. Individual inbreeding coefficients and proportion of the genome covered by ROH segments (FROH) were calculated for each individual and averaged across populations. Welch’s two-sample t-test was used to test for significant differences between populations for these two measures. For resultant p-values, * indicates p < 0.05; ** indicates p < 2.2 × 10–16
