    Research Summary

    Information Pending

    Description

    Study of the capability of long-term storage of resting forms of animal organisms, possible microecological system components in space flight conditions. Determination of the percentage of reactivated specimens. Trade off analysis of reactivated specimens of flight and reference experiments. Study of genome areas (DNA) responsible for diapause formation and depth. Investigation of the nucleotide sequence and synthesis in the corresponding genome areas of proteins-adaptagens and signal proteins involved in the stress response and morphogenesis.
