The first chicken oocyte nucleus whole transcriptomic profile defines the spectrum of maternal mRNA and non-coding RNA genes transcribed by the lampbrush chromosomes.

Lampbrush chromosomes, with their unusually high rate of nascent RNA synthesis, provide a valuable model for studying mechanisms of global transcriptome up-regulation. Here, we obtained a whole-genomic profile of transcription along the entire length of all lampbrush chromosomes in the chicken karyotype. With nuclear RNA-seq, we obtained information about a wider set of transcripts, including long non-coding RNAs retained in the nucleus and stable intronic sequence RNAs.

Investigation of DNA-damage and Chromosomal Aberrations in Blood Cells under the Influence of New Silver-based Antiviral Complex.

Purpose: The problem of infectious diseases and drug resistance is becoming increasingly important worldwide. Silver is extensively used as an anti-infective agent, but it has significant toxic side effects. In this regard, it is topical to develop new silver compounds with high biological activity and low toxicity.

Structure relaxation and crystallization of the CoW-CoNiW-NiW electrodeposited alloys.

The structure of electrolytically deposited nanocrystalline alloys of the CoW-CoNiW-NiW systems under low-temperature heating was investigated by means of high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), high-angle annular dark-field scanning transmission electron microscopy (HAADF STEM), and analytical methods such as energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy (EDS) and electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS). Structural relaxation and crystallization were investigated at temperatures of 200°C to 300°C. The structural and compositional inhomogeneities were found in the CoW-CoNiW-NiW alloys, while the local changes in composition were found to reach 18 at.
