Relevance. The genetic recombination between viruses and men is known long ago. It can be divided on relict and ontogenic ones. For the host the recombination may display different consequences the nature of which is not exposed explicitly.Aim is to analyze (on the base of computer comparison of the primary structure of viral and human proteins ) the occurrence of twodirectional recombination by small genome fragments between viruses and men and describe its possible after-effects.Materials and methods. For this computer study human and virus protein sequences were used from data bases available in INTERNET.Results. It was indicated that recombination (cryptical and explicit) by small genome fragments between viruses and men occurred many times in the past and many viruses pathogenic for men were involved in it.Conclusion. The bioinformatics approach allows to look at the past of viruses and men and find the traces of genetic information changes between them that may predetermine the effects of vaccines and diagnostic immune tests.

Apocynum plants, especially A. venetum and A. hendersonii, are rich in flavonoids. In the present study, a whole genome survey of the two species was initially carried out to optimize the flavonoid biosynthesis-correlated gene mining. Then, the metabolome and transcriptome analyses were combined to elucidate the flavonoid biosynthesis pathways. Both species have small genome sizes of 232.80 Mb (A. venetum) and 233.74 Mb (A. hendersonii) and showed similar metabolite profiles with flavonols being the main differentiated flavonoids between the two specie. Positive correlation of gene expression levels (flavonone-3 hydroxylase, anthocyanidin reductase, and flavonoid 3-O-glucosyltransferase) and total flavonoid content were observed. The contents of quercitrin, hyperoside, and total anthocyanin in A. venetum were found to be much higher than in A. hendersonii, and such was thought to be the reason for the morphological difference in color of A. venetum and A. hendersonii. This study provides valuable genomic and metabolome information for understanding of A. venetum and A. hendersonii, and lays a foundation for elucidating Apocynum genus plant flavonoid biosynthesis.
