State-private partnership as the difficult operational closed system
In article the state-private partnership is considered as the difficult operational closed system possessing property ofan emergent and containing synergy potential. It is considered bootstrap as collective self-production in which both the state and business participate in reproduction ofeach other and system of the communications responsible for this production
Structural Properties of Ribosomal Protein S8 from the Extreme Thermophile Thermus Thermophilus
The gene of ribosomal protein S8 from the extreme thermophile Thermus thermophilus was expressed in E. coli using the strain BL21(DE3) and vector pET3-1. A method of isolating this protein from the super producing strain was developed, which makes it possible to obtain 8-12 mg of product from 11 of culture. The secondary structure of protein S8 was determined by using CD spectroscopy. The protein was shown to be highly resistant to denaturants

Development and validation of a 36-gene sequencing assay for hereditary cancer risk assessment
The past two decades have brought many important advances in our understanding of the hereditary susceptibility to cancer. Numerous studies have provided convincing evidence that identification of germline mutations associated with hereditary cancer syndromes can lead to reductions in morbidity and mortality through targeted risk management options. Additionally, advances in gene sequencing technology now permit the development of multigene hereditary cancer testing panels. Here, we describe the 2016 revision of the Counsyl Inherited Cancer Screen for detecting single-nucleotide variants (SNVs), short insertions and deletions (indels), and copy number variants (CNVs) in 36 genes associated with an elevated risk for breast, ovarian, colorectal, gastric, endometrial, pancreatic, thyroid, prostate, melanoma, and neuroendocrine cancers. To determine test accuracy and reproducibility, we performed a rigorous analytical validation across 341 samples, including 118 cell lines and 223 patient samples. The screen achieved 100% test sensitivity across different mutation types, with high specificity and 100% concordance with conventional Sanger sequencing and multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA). We also demonstrated the screen’s high intra-run and inter-run reproducibility and robust performance on blood and saliva specimens. Furthermore, we showed that pathogenic Alu element insertions can be accurately detected by our test. Overall, the validation in our clinical laboratory demonstrated the analytical performance required for collecting and reporting genetic information related to risk of developing hereditary cancers
