Facilitating Large Language Model Russian Adaptation with Learned Embedding Propagation by Михаил Тихомиров, Даниил Чернышев

“… Background: Recent advancements in large language model (LLM) technologies have introduced powerful open-source instruction-tuned LLMs that match the text generation quality of leading models like GPT-4. Despite accelerating LLM adoption in sensitive-information environments, the lack of disclosed training data hinders replication and makes these achievements exclusive to specific models. …”

CMS systems in rapeseed and their use in the breeding of domestic hybrids by I. N. Anisimova, A. G. Dubovskaya

“…Development of heterotic hybrids is the most efficient approach to solve the problem of increasing the yield of rapeseed (Brassica napus L.), a leading oilseed crop. The cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS), widely used in rapeseed hybrid seed production, makes it possible to control hybridization between female and male lines. …”

The role of the pAbp gene encoding the cytoplasmic poly(A)-binding protein in spermatogenesis of Drosophila melanogaster by E. U. Bolobolova, E. M. Baricheva, N. V. Dorogova

“…In Drosophila spermatogenesis, posttranscriptional mechanisms of gene regulation play an important role, so cytoplasmic PABP can have significant function in this process. Deletion of PABP leads to embryonic lethality. However, some flies carrying combinations of mutant pAbp alleles survive but display male sterility and show defects in spermatogenesis. …”
