Economists Kholod and Kornev predicted an increase in prices for champagne and fish on the eve of the New Year wine, fish, seafood, meat and fruits. Economist, ex-Deputy Minister of Agriculture of Russia Leonid Kholod and President of the Association of Industrial and Commercial Enterprises of the Fish Market Vitaly Kornev told about this to Lente.ru. They added that prices will level out after the holidays. Kornev noted that at the moment there is no need to expect a sharp rise in prices – everything that could rise in price has already risen in price. “Business is arranged like this that everyone is preparing for New Year's sales in advance, and it is no longer possible to increase prices under contracts with chains where the bulk of products are sold, – he explained. “All the price increases have already occurred in November.” Kholod added that, despite the fact that a

American biologists: mutations in the seventh chromosome of DNA increase the risk of committing suicide , the results of the study are published in Biological Psychiatry. Biologists have studied the structure of the genome of about 30 thousand people in the United States and other developed countries with suicidal tendencies. In addition, they analyzed the indicators of 520 thousand volunteers who had never had such a desire. In the course of evaluating the data, they found a piece of DNA that affects a person's desire to commit suicide. At the same time, earlier this section of the seventh chromosome was associated with various mental disorders. Scientists were convinced that it causes sleep disturbances and the desire to smoke. Hundreds of mutations in the seventh chromosome formed a predisposition to suicide: they greatly reduced or increased the likelihood of committing suicide. “This suggests the need to study how variations in this

Defense24: the construction of the Tu-160M ​​indicates Russia's lag behind the United States On Monday, November 29, Russia announced preparations for testing strategic bomber-missile carrier Tu-160M ​​of new construction. The Polish edition of Defense24 suggested that this indicates the lag of the Russian strategic aviation behind the United States. The publication noted that the characteristics of the newly built aircraft were not disclosed. The author suggested that the bomber-missile carrier will receive the NA-32-02 engine and new avionics. “These works paradoxically indicate a significant lag between Russia and the United States, which not only put into service the strategic bomber B-2 Spirit, but are now in an advanced stage of work on its successor, designated the B-21 Raider, ”- writes the Polish edition. Defense24 notes that the Russian analogue of the B-2 will be the promising PAK-DA bomber, but its development is at an early stage. Earlier, a source in

Biologist Baranova: mutations of the omicron-strain of coronavirus can help it deceive antibodies The main danger of the omicron strain of coronavirus is a large number of mutations in those parts to which antibodies produced by the human body are usually attached. This can lead to the fact that the immunity already formed against other strains will not be effective against the omicron. Ancha Baranova, Doctor of Biological Sciences, Professor at the School of Systems Biology at George Mason University (Virginia, USA), told Lente.ru about this. In the virus sequence, there are concerns about the places where mutations have occurred. Here is the S-protein of the coronavirus (thorn). It has a receptor-binding domain (RBD), through which the virus enters the human cell. It’s such a lump that sticks out on the S-protein, and neutralizing antibodies cling to it. So there are ten mutations on this piece. That is, there are
