Scientists used game theory to explain the emergence and evolutionary adoption of a non-adaptive trait for modern society, such as increased anxiety, at the genetic level in people. They showed that human anxiety could be a result of continuous hunting of dinosaurs for them.
The search for new pharmacophores for uracil-DNA-glycosylase inhibitors will make it possible to develop drugs to reduce the virulence of bacterial and viral diseases, as well as to increase the effectiveness of treatment for oncological and autoimmune diseases. A study by Novosibirsk scientists published their work on this topic in the journal 芦Molecules禄.
Novosibirsk researchers were part of an international research group conducting unique research on the relationship between the morphological characteristics of soft wheat grain stored in a genetic bank for several years (from harvest to germination) using digital image analysis. The results were published in 芦Plants禄.
鈥淩ospatent鈥� recognized an Ebola virus drug developed by Novosibirsk scientists as one of the 10 most significant patents in 2019.
NSU conducted the 2019 Winter School 鈥淚ntroduction to Multifactorial Disease Genomics鈥� in cooperation with the Institute of Cytology and Genetics SB RAS, and the Usher Institute of Population Health Sciences and Informatics (University of Edinburgh, UK). The NSU Laboratory of Theoretical and Applied Functional Genomics (鈥淪ynthetic Biology鈥� Strategic Academic Unity at the NSU Department of Natural Sciences) organized the school that was attended by undergraduates, graduate students and young researchers from Moscow, Irkutsk, Novosibirsk, and Kazakhstan. This year, School participants were able to not only listen to lectures on the genetics of complex human traits, but also take part in practical exercises, and prepare reports on the most relevant current topics.
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
On November 7, the Medical Scientific and Educational Center (MSES) of NSU鈥檚 Institute of Medicine and Psychology will officially open. It is one of the first Medical Centers in Russia established within the structure of a classical university
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
Julia Otmakhova, Head of the NSU Food Safety Research Center, published the results of a comprehensive scientific study assessing the economic effect and environmental consequences of simulated options for the utilization of food waste in large-scale food production
A mutation in the human genome can lead to a change in not one, but several characteristics. A new method, developed by a team of scientists at the NSU, makes it possible to analyze several characteristics simultaneously
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
