Insucient inorganic phosphate (Pi) concentration triggers plant responses to balance the internal Pi level. Results: In this study, we describe Pi-starvation-responsive small RNAs and transcriptome changes in barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) using Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) data derived from three different types of NGS libraries: (i) small RNAs, (ii) degraded RNAs, and (iii) functional mRNAs. We nd that differentially and signicantly expressed miRNAs (DEMs, p-value < 0.05) are represented by 162 (44.88 % of total differentially expressed small RNAs) molecules in shoot and 138 (7.14 %) in root; mainly various miR399 and miR827 isomiRs.

  • Situne Dei Årsskrift För Sigtunaforskning Och Historisk Arkeologi
    Situne Dei Årsskrift för Sigtunaforskning och historisk arkeologi 2018 Redaktion: Anders Söderberg Charlotte Hedenstierna-Jonson Anna Kjellström Magnus Källström Cecilia Ljung Johan Runer Utgiven av Sigtuna Museum SITUNE DEI 2018 Viking traces – artistic tradition of the Viking Age in applied art of pre-Mongolian Novgorod Nadezhda N. Tochilova The Novgorod archaeological collection of wooden items includes a significant amount of pieces of decorative art. Many of these were featured in the fundamental work of B.A. Kolchin Novgorod Antiquities. The Carved Wood (Kolchin 1971). This work is, perhaps, the one generalizing study capable of providing a full picture of the art of carved wood of Ancient Novgorod. Studying the archaeological collec- tions of Ancient Novgorod, one’s attention is drawn to a number of wooden (and bone) objects, the art design of which distinctly differs from the general conceptions of ancient Russian art. The most striking examples of such works of applied art will be discussed in this article. The processes of interaction between the two cultures are well researched and presented in the works of a group of Swedish archaeologists, whose work showed the complex bonds of interaction between Sweden and Russia, reflected in a number of aspects of material culture (Arbman 1960; Jansson 1996; Fransson et al (eds.) 2007; Hedenstierna- Jonson 2009). Moreover, in art history literature, a few individ- ual works of applied art refer to the context of the spread of Viking art (Roesdahl & Wilson eds 1992; Graham-Campbell 2013), but not to the interrelation, as a definite branch of Scandinavian art, in Eastern Europe. If we apply this focus to Russian historiography, then the problem of studying archaeological objects of applied art is comparatively small, and what is important to note is that all of these studies also have an archaeological direction (Kolchin 1971; Bocharov 1983).

  • February 14Th 10.00 Sedov Vladimir Valentinovich (Moscow IA RAS
    February 14th 10.00 Sedov Vladimir Valentinovich (Moscow IA RAS) Principal outcomes of the excavation of the church of the Annunciation at Gorodishche near Novgorod in 2016-2017: archeology and architecture The paper presents the main results of the extensive architectural and archaeological excavation of the stone church of the Annunciation at Gorodishche, built in 1103 by Prince Mstislav the Great and rebuilt in 1342-1343. This latter church, having survived in part, was conserved, and the current plans for the museumification of the 1103 church allowed for its complete excavation, which provided an opportunity to assess the architecture of this second oldest stone church building of Novgorod (the Sophia of Novgorod being the earliest). We now see this monument as a transitive point in local architectural history. Its large size, common type and architectural details firmly link it to the south Russian tradition of Kiev. At the same time, it stands at the very beginning of the Novgorod architectural tradition. The paper also covers some of the most vivid details of the monument and the traces of its rebuilding, as well as information on the pre- church layers unearthed during the excavation. Gippius Alexey Alexeevich (Moscow, HSE, ISS RAS), Mikheev Savva Mikhailovich (Moscow, ISS RAS) Complex of the Glagolitic graffiti of the church of the Annunciation at Gorodishche The paper discusses ten 12th- century Glagolitic graffiti, one of them being the longest old Russian Glagolitic text. The inscriptions are of interest both in terms of their content and of their paleography, which has allowed us to presume the existence of a specific Novgorod school of Glagolitic writing in the 11th and 12th centuries.

  • Three Hundred Years of European Integration and Relations Between Churches in St
    THREE HUNDRED YEARS OF EUROPEAN INTEGRATION AND RELATIONS BETWEEN CHURCHES IN ST. PETERSBURG Archpriest V. Fedorov Three hundred years of St. Petersburg is not an especially long period in the history of Christianity, whereas it spans almost a third of Russia’s Christian history. The Jubilee encourages us to look deeper into what now is within the realm of history. St. Petersburg had its prehistory. Our city was founded 128 km to the West from the rst capital of Northern Russia—Ladoga,1 which was for the rst time mentioned in the eighth century. In the ninth and tenth centuries it was one of the political centres of the Medieval Russian state. The town of Staraya Ladoga, which a month ago was celebrating its 1250th anniversary, grew from a fortress on the famous route “from the Varangians to the Greeks.” Archaeologists say that it was here that Slavonic and Finnic tribes rst met Scandinavians and other Europeans. They were craftsmen, war- riors, and merchants. “Slavonic Ladoga may be called a cosmopolitan town, a town of international culture, a town where there were not any serious con icts generated by ethnic prejudices.”2 Later, Orthodox Christianity was preached here by Novgorodian missionaries, who were backed by secular authorities. In the twelfth and thirteenth centuries, Russians were beating back the incursions of Swedes and the Livonian Order. Historians believe that in the fteenth and sixteenth centuries there were 35 churches and about twenty mon- asteries and convents around Ladoga, Oreshek, Koporye, and Yam- gorod. In 1610, the Swedes took Ladoga and Veliky Novgorod.

Brodnikov* Petr E. Podalko** The penetration of the Russian people into Siberia probably began more than a thousand years ago. Old Russian chronicles mention that already in the 11th century, the northwestern part of Siberia, then known as Yugra1), was a “volost”2) of the Novgorod Land3). The Novgorod ush- * Associate Professor, Novosibirsk State University ** Professor, Aoyama Gakuin University 1) Initially, Yugra was the name of the territory between the mouth of the river Pechora and the Ural Mountains, where the Finno-Ugric tribes historically lived. Gradually, with the advancement of the Russian people to the East, this territorial name spread across the north of Western Siberia to the river Taz. Since 2003, Yugra has been part of the offi cial name of the Khanty-Mansiysk Autonomous Okrug: Khanty-Mansiysk Autonomous Okrug—Yugra. 2) Volost—from the Old Russian “power, country, district”—means here the territo- rial-administrative unit of the aboriginal population with the most authoritative leader, the chief, from whom a certain amount of furs was collected. 3) Novgorod Land (literally “New City”) refers to a land, also known as “Gospodin (Lord) Veliky (Great) Novgorod”, or “Novgorod Republic”, with its administrative center in Veliky Novgorod, which had from the 10th century a tendency towards autonomy from Kiev, the capital of Ancient Kievan Rus. From the end of the 11th century, Novgorod de-facto became an independent city-state that subdued the entire north of Eastern Europe.

    Biocuration 2016 - Posters Source: http://www.sib.swiss/events/biocuration2016/posters 1 RAM: A standards-based database for extracting and analyzing disease-specified concepts from the multitude of biomedical resources Jinmeng Jia and Tieliu Shi Each year, millions of people around world suffer from the consequence of the misdiagnosis and ineffective treatment of various disease, especially those intractable diseases and rare diseases. Integration of various data related to human diseases help us not only for identifying drug targets, connecting genetic variations of phenotypes and understanding molecular pathways relevant to novel treatment, but also for coupling clinical care and biomedical researches. To this end, we built the Rare disease Annotation & Medicine (RAM) standards-based database which can provide reference to map and extract disease-specified information from multitude of biomedical resources such as free text articles in MEDLINE and Electronic Medical Records (EMRs). RAM integrates disease-specified concepts from ICD-9, ICD-10, SNOMED-CT and MeSH (http://www.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/MBrowser.html) extracted from the Unified Medical Language System (UMLS) based on the UMLS Concept Unique Identifiers for each Disease Term. We also integrated phenotypes from OMIM for each disease term, which link underlying mechanisms and clinical observation. Moreover, we used disease-manifestation (D-M) pairs from existing biomedical ontologies as prior knowledge to automatically recognize D-M-specific syntactic patterns from full text articles in MEDLINE. Considering that most of the record-based disease information in public databases are textual format, we extracted disease terms and their related biomedical descriptive phrases from Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man (OMIM), National Organization for Rare Disorders (NORD) and Orphanet using UMLS Thesaurus.
