Polygenic prediction of human longevity on the supposition of pervasive pleiotropy by M. Reza Jabalameli, Jhih-Rong Lin, Quanwei Zhang, Zhen Wang, Joydeep Mitra, Nha Nguyen, Tina Gao, Mark Khusidman, Sanish Sathyan, Gil Atzmon, Sofiya Milman, Jan Vijg, Nir Barzilai, Zhengdong D. Zhang

“…Abstract The highly polygenic nature of human longevity renders pleiotropy an indispensable feature of its genetic architecture. Leveraging the genetic correlation between aging-related traits (ARTs), we aimed to model the additive variance in lifespan as a function of the cumulative liability from pleiotropic segregating variants. …”

FAULTING IN THE LITHOSPHERE: THE 35TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE IRKUTSK SCHOOL OF TECTONOPHYSICS by S. I. Sherman, K. Zh. Seminsky, S. A. Bornyakov

“…It is established that internal patterns of areas of dynamic influence of faults are composed of zones that can be revealed both laterally and in depth, and such zonal patterns depend on the degree of tectonical and dynamo-metamorphical transformation of the rocks.The internal structure of continental fault zones was studied, and three main disjunctive stages were revealed, each corresponding to a specific type of deformation behaviour of the medium, its state of stresses, pathogenesis of faults varying in ranks, and variations of parameters in space and time.Triple paragenesises of fractures were revealed and analysed for a number of regions, and such studies provided the basis to propose a method of specialized mapping of the crust, which provides for determination of locations of fault zones and their boundaries, conditions of their formation and major specific features of their internal structures. …”
