• Konstantin Zaytsev, One of Top-5 Young Russian Scientists in Systems Biology, on Systems Biology in Russia

  …his one is to identify the sources of the variation in the data from RNA sequencing of single cells. For decades, we’ve been deriving RNA from a sample (a blood sample, for instance), and studied it as a whole, but now we can do even better than that. We can take a sample which is a solution of cells and identify the RNA that are present in every particular cell. …

• InnoCamp: How Russian and Finnish Students Reinvent Old Spaces

  …ing ideas to suggesting practical recommendations for the implementation of final projects. As a result, the teams proposed their creative solutions to given cases. For instance, the participants had to: find ways of turning a Vyborg seaport into a cluster of restaurants, art spaces, and even a “beauty island” for European tourists; transform a former Kotka po…

• ITMO University Teams Take the Crown at Yauza CTF-2019, RealCTF and FaustCTF Cybersecurity Competitions

  … it using special software; that’s how you got a flag. This wasn’t a simple task because the program was compiled into machine code with which we ultimately had to deal,” explains Fargate’s Artem Pavlov. The participants were given eight hours to solve all tasks. As per the tradition, each task had its own flag the teams were vying for; the more flags a team man…

• 10th Bike Ride with Rector: Long-Time Participants Share Favorite Routes and Experiences

  … bike path. I would say I mostly do it for fun, though from where I live, it takes the same time to get to work by bike or by bus. But if the weather is good, the bike wins. Natalia Ros, second-year student of Master’s program in Science Communication The most fun for me was when I’d fall. I would take videos and photos for the university’s social media …

• How Minkowski–Bouligand Dimension Helps Determine Signature Authenticity

  …sion. This parameter differs for authentic and intentionally altered signatures, which makes it possible to reliably discern similar signatures left by different people,” explains Tatyana Vovk. Together with machine learning techniques, this approach offers a potentially powerful tool for identification and verification of signatures and any other kind of notati…

• New Method for Analyzing Genes Activity Helps Predict Cancer Patients Survival

  …iptome, or the set of all RNA molecules in a sample, is widely used in biomedical research. Using this method, researchers can analyze molecular processes in a tissue and, for instance, identify the severity of a cancer. However, tissue samples can contain millions of different cells that need to be distinguished from each other in order for us to understand exactly …

  …off of nuclear physics. The USA’s participation in the Vietnam War was a hot topic, and social tension continued to grow. Today we’re seeing people around the world rise up against fake news in defense of scientific truth (the March for Science), but some 40 or 50 years ago the situation was quite opposite. And the reason for that is that back then, scientists would …
