Genomic and Genetic Studies of Cultivated Actinidia (Actinidia spp.)
Nanobiotechnology Reports. 2024. Vol. 19. No. 3. P. 342 – 350.
Actinidia Lindl. is a genus of plants, some species of which are of great economic importance. Varieties of large-fruited Actinidia, known as kiwi (A. deliciosa and A. chinensis), are widely distributed on the world market , however, recently attempts have been made to domesticate small-fruited Actinidia, which in Russia are represented by several far-eastern species. The genomics and genetics of Actinidia are developing in different directions, often in accordance with the needs of breeders. The review describes genomic and genetic studies related to the most important agricultural traits of Actinidia: genetic diversity, chemical composition of fruits, sex coding, response to frost, storage, and transportation of crops.

The problem of the evolution of cell volume fraction in a spherical aggregate composed of cells,
extracellular matrix, and fluid is considered. The aggregate is surrounded by extracellular matrix. The
problem formulation employs a multiphase model of a biological continuum, previously developed by the
author, consisting of two actively interacting solid phases and a fluid. The propagation of ...

Antiviral activity is commonly summarized using endpoint measures such as EC50 or EC90, yet these quantities emerge from a dynamic biological system and depend on viral replication kinetics, host-cell properties, experimental design, and the assay used to quantify infection. Infectious-virus titers, viral RNA, infected-cell fractions, viability measurements, and immune readouts capture different components of the ...

Low-frequency vibrations play an essential role in biomolecular processes involving DNA such as gene expression, charge transfer, drug intercalation, and DNA–protein recognition. However, understanding the vibrational basis of these mechanisms relies on theoretical models due to the lack of experimental evidence. Here we present the low-frequency vibrational spectra of G-quadruplexes (structures formed by four strands ...

Spermophilus suslicus is a threatened species listed in Red Data Books at all levels (from regional Red Data
Books to the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species), and it currently requires special conservation activity.
Over the past 30–50 years, its range has changed from continuous to mosaic, and its population has declined
everywhere. In 2015, in Russia experimental ...

Brachiopoda is a group of animals, that is still insufficiently studied at the ultrastructural level, despite the significance of ultrastructure of tissues and organs for analysing the functional morphology, reconstructing the organisation and biology of numerous extinct brachiopods, and establishing relationships among major taxa. In the present study, we provide a revised reconstruction of the ...

The role of escape from the cytotoxic T cell (CTL) response in SARS-CoV-2 evolution remains controversial. Here, we study the origin and spread of SARS-CoV-2 variants whose mutations reduce presentation by the HLA class I alleles common in human populations. We find that 35% of mutations that are characteristic of the variants of concern, and ...

Introduction. The active integration of rapidly developing omics and computer technologies in the 21st century has led to a breakthrough in understanding the principles of the functioning of living systems. One of the dynamically developing integrative areas in biology is biological modeling. The fundamental paradigm has been the methodology that allows for the prediction of ...

Targeted protein degradation represents a promising therapeutic strategy, yet its broader application is often limited by the scarcity of usable E3 ligases. Glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) is a key target for inducing ferroptosis, but achieving sustained and potent inhibition remains challenging with conventional enzymatic inhibitors. Herein, we report the first small‐molecule GPX4 degraders that incorporate ...

Accurate classification of a patient with pulmonary hypertension (PH) into one of five groups is fundamental for appropriate disease management strategies. The time from disease onset to correct diagnosis is unacceptably long in many cases. Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) develops as a consequence of venous thromboemboli, resulting in a more pronounced hereditary predisposition to ...

Центромеры обеспечивают расхождение хромосом, однако организацию их хроматина в пределах повторяющейся альфа-сателлитной ДНК долгое время было трудно изучать. Для решения этой задачи мы создали гаплотип-разрешённые аннотации сателлитной ДНК для полной диплоидной сборки генома человека T2T-HG002. Затем с помощью метода направленного метилирования с секвенированием длинных прочтений (DiMeLo-seq) мы картировали центромерный белок A (CENP-A), модификацию H3K9me3 и ...

The common marmoset is a New World monkey widely used to study primate evolution and human disease. We present a telomere-to-telomere (T2T) reference assembly for the species, plus three near-T2T haplotypes. These resolve previously inaccessible regions, including the centromeres, sex chromosomes, subterminal satellites, acrocentric chromosomes, and the major histocompatibility complex (MHC). We find marmoset centromeres ...

Background Therapeutic peptides exert pivotal effects in diverse biological processes, and have attracted significant interest in the field of biomedicine in recent years. However, most existing methods often fail to adequately capture the intricate interactions among amino acid residues and the contextual dependencies within peptide sequences, which hampers the extraction of deep semantic representations and ...

Introduction. The body's ability to absorb vitamin D is determined, among other factors, by the activity of the vitamin D cellular receptor, which is encoded by the VDR gene. We considered intergroup differences in the carriage of VDR polymorphisms as the results of selection aimed at reducing the population frequencies of maladaptive variants. According to ...

Introduction. Trehalose or mushroom sugar has been increasingly used in the food industry in the past decades. To be absorbed in the human intestine, trehalose needs to be broken down by an enzyme known as trehalase. Today, it is known that the G→A substitution in the rs2276064 locus of the TREH gene results in the ...
