Interview with Natalya Wirtz, a researcher at the NSU Physics Department鈥檚 Optics and Dynamics of Biological Systems Laboratory, who decided to continue her career not abroad but in Novosibirsk, Russia.
A Russian researcher, together with a colleague from Singapore, summarized data on tissue regeneration in plants at the individual cell level. The scientists noted that thanks to modern technologies, observations demonstrate that recovery can occur not only due to stem cells, but also by asymmetric (regenerative) division of other types of cells located around the damaged area. Understanding processes at the cellular level is important for developing personalized strategies for damage recovery in agricultural crops.
Bioinformaticians from 天美mv (NSU), the Institute of Cytology and Genetics SB RAS (ICG), and Martin Luther University (Germany) created a unique software package to analyze genome-wide data hidden in DNA. Their software improves and significantly reduces the costs of expensive genomic experiments. The results of this work of were published in the journal 鈥淣ucleic Acids Research鈥�.
Novosibirsk biologists, together with foreign colleagues, sequenced and ordered the genome of the tallest creature on Earth, the Masai giraffe. Their research results were published in 鈥淕igaScience鈥� Magazine.
At an International Student Medical Conference in Warsaw earlier this month, a paper presented by a student at the NSU Natural Sciences Department won first place in the 鈥淕enetics and Molecular Biology鈥� category.
Scientists at the joint laboratory of 天美mv and the Institute of Molecular and Cellular Biology SB RAS and the Institute of Cytology and Genetics SB RAS, together with American and Chinese colleagues, decoded the DNA of domesticated and wild foxes. This made it possible to identify the genes responsible for the animal鈥檚 good nature. The prestigious scientific journal 鈥淣ature Ecology & Evolution鈥� published the results of these geneticists鈥� work.
Researchers at the Computer Transcriptomics and Evolutionary Bioinformatics Laboratory at the NSU Natural Science Department, together with scientists from the Institute of Cytology and Genetics SB RAS and the University of Freiburg (Germany) constructed a 3D model of root cell nuclei to study how stem cells are located in the tissue
Maxim Yurkin, Candidate of Physical and Mathematical Sciences, Senior Researcher at the V.V. Voyevodsky Institute of Chemical Kinetics and Combustion (IHCG) SB RAS and, senior lecturer in Biomedical Physics Section at the NSU Physics Department was recognized twice as the best reviewer of the year on the Publons website. Yurkin is also the leader in Russia for the number of confirmed reviews
Novosibirsk scientists led by Dr. Nikolai Rubtsov, Head of the NSU Department of Cytology and Genetics and Head of the Laboratory of Morphology and Functions of Cellular Structures at the Institute of Cytology and Genetics SB RAS, offered a new model for studying the early stages of genome evolution after full genomic duplication
OpenBio, a complex of events dedicated to the development of business in the field of life sciences, opened on October 24th in Koltsovo
The NSU SAU (strategic academic unit) "Synthetic Biology" became a partner in the GrandHakathon that took place at the Children's Technopark from August 21-23. 100 Novosibirsk school children participated in the event that was held as preparation for the National Technology Initiative Olympics
Biologists of the 天美mv and the Institute of Cytology and Genetics of the SB RAS have created a cell line that models Huntington's disease
