Is it possible or not to create a genetic weapon against a certain nation?

93
After confirming the information that the US is acquiring biological samples of representatives of the Russian ethnos from different regions of Russia, arguments about creating a new species surfaced. weapons - genetic. Recall that the issue of collecting biological samples of Russians by the US military department became the focus of attention after a statement on this occasion of Russian President Vladimir Putin at the Human Rights Council.

The idea that in the West they can easily create versions of weapons that are used (in perspective) against the gene code of a person of a certain nationality, is supported by State Duma deputy Gennady Onishchenko (former Russian Chief Sanitary Inspector). However, this point of view is not shared by the chief specialist of the Ministry of Health on issues of genetics, corresponding member of the Russian Academy of Sciences Sergey Kutsev.



His statement leads Interfax:
These are all fantasies concerning the possibility of developing some kind of genetic drugs of influence, some kind of genetic weapon - for this there are no biological bases. You can not create a weapon against a particular nation. We are all the same, we have the same set of genes, these or other variants are found in all populations, and, therefore, there is no need to talk about any ethnospecific effects.


Is it possible or not to create a genetic weapon against a certain nation?


In this regard, recall the statements of the sample of the thirties of the last century, when some scientists declared that it was impossible to create weapons capable of simultaneously destroying hundreds of thousands of people. And in August, the US 1945 dropped nuclear bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, which claimed at least 300 thousands of human lives.

        The idea of ​​creating a genetic weapon against an individual nation is a crazy idea! Especially against the Russians! Who live very, very far distances from each other ...
        Different regions have different sets of chromosomes ... Russian genome - living genome! Constantly changing due to the large number of different peoples living in the Russian Federation.
        To create something like this, you need to make the genome stop changing. Well, or stop the time!

          As a geneticist I will fully support you - since then. As the Human Genome project ended and the genomes of a huge number of people around the globe began to actively read, one thing became clear - there are NO genetic differences between people that would create a selective virus that infects any particular nation.

            Here is a small clarification - there is no selective defeat, but there are differences in the tolerability of diseases by different nationalities, and nobody canceled the pharmacogenetics. Genetic factors strongly affect the therapeutic efficacy of drugs and the occurrence of ADVERSE phenomena in treatment. In addition, there is no need to defeat the entire population of the country with a mortal illness. If some kind of virus arises, a new strain with high virulence and from it, conditionally, part of the population will be "out of pocket", then this obviously will not do us any good. And all sorts of outbreaks of disease will be used against us, even if only in the information war

              Genetic factors strongly affect the therapeutic efficacy of drugs and the occurrence of ADVERSE phenomena in treatment.

              Nevertheless, this is all very individual for people - I repeat there are NO such genetic features in an entire nation that would ensure a more severe course of a disease, but at the same time in every nation there are people with such genetic characteristics. That is, "up the drain" will be from this artificial strain will be almost an equal percentage of people in all nations ...

              On the other hand, there are some features of the tolerability of certain diseases in different regions, due to non-genetic characteristics. but just an accumulation of immunity in connection with the prevalence of such sores in different regions. I give an example - in Russia there will be increased resistance of people to all kinds of acute respiratory viral infections and acute respiratory infections, because it’s cold, it’s easy to catch a cold, it’s also easy to catch a virus through “khe-khe”, so we have been suffering from these sores since childhood and are gaining decent immunity. But Hindus will not tolerate such acute respiratory viral infections and acute respiratory infections, because they live in a warm climate, where such sores are poorly distributed, but they have a lot of any intestinal infection, which Russians already suffer worse - our compatriots come to India and must be poisoned by something , and the locals eat normally)

              As for the hypothetical “genetic weapon” - it’s as if the virus is mowing one nation like an A-Ebola, and it won’t hurt others at all - that’s impossible in principle)))

                I’m afraid these “figures” may decide that the game is worth the candle ... The topic is unsteady, because it may not be about a completely selective defeat with grave consequences, but sometimes a little may be enough. An example given by you is correct and the same can go to the piggy bank. Although all this talk about genetic weapons is more like science fiction - let's hope that it remains!

            og ... forgot about mandatory vaccination? But about food poisoned by GMOs? There are many ways. They are already running around everything that is possible.

            Oh, but nothing, that this very mandatory vaccination saves us from epidemics and pandemics of diseases such as poliomyelitis, measles, whooping cough, and smallpox were defeated thanks to compulsory universal vaccination. As a result of universal vaccination in our country, the infant mortality rate that took place in the Russian Empire was reduced by several orders of magnitude. The only thing against which vaccination does not make sense - against the flu - mutates, canal, too soon and new strains go every year. and the vaccine is against the "old."

            Well, about the "GMOs", "poisoning" food))))) My favorite topic))))) Let me, dear, know that what you mean is not GMOs, but transgenic organisms, because " GMO "- that is," genetically modified organisms "- is ALL our cultivated plants and animals, even those that grandfather Michurin deduced, because they differ genetically from their wild ancestors)))) So all Michurin varieties are POLYPLOIDS, and moreover allopolyploids - that is, they contain several complete genomes of different species! But you say that polyploidization and interspecific hybridization with associated polyploidization is also found in nature? so I’ll tell you that the “transgenesis” that is used to create all the so hated transgenic organisms is also an absolutely natural phenomenon)))) So for example in a plant like flax (linaria vulgaris), a gene is found that is found in T-DNA bacteria Agrobacterium tumefaciens, which deals with natural transgenesis, causing the formation of crown galls on the roots of plants)))) At the same time, this gene is deployed “back to front” relative to its promoter, which will allow synthesizing RNA complementary to RNA of the already “normal” agrobacterium gene that is integrated into the plant genome together with T-DNA, resulting in RNA duplexes, which triggers the mechanism of the so-called RNA interference, which completely cuts off the possibility of the formation of the target gene protein. That is, not only does a natural case of transgenesis take place, but also the organism where the foreign gene was transferred has adapted this foreign gene to fight the parasite from which the foreign gene originates! What time!

            And finally, GMOs themselves, correctly transgenic organisms pose even less danger than ordinary ones, because ordinary apples must be “watered with all sorts of dirt” to make them good (like that grandfather from juice advertising), and "transgenic" by themselves are poured large without any excess mineral fertilizers and nitrates)))))

              Such "technologies" will never appear at all, since, banally, such genetic sequences do not. which would be unique to specific nations. A nation is a cultural concept, first of all, and not a genetic one. So for example, everyone haplogroup R1a1, which is common among Russians, Belarusians and Ukrainians, is even more common among Poles, Altaians, and some ethnic groups in India. Enough of it among the Norwegians, a significant percentage of the Swedes and Germans. Yes, even in Africa you can find its carriers. If we create a hypothetical artificial virus that only integrates into a sequence specific to the haplogroup R1a1, then it will hit all its carriers, regardless of their nationality, and if it later mutates, it will begin to infect anyone ...

      Comrade Shura, you are a great scientist, and I am a simple Soviet man.
      It is Soviet. Was him, and they will die. Especially not to wait long.
      So the myth that the Anglo-Saxons want to destroy the Slavs is nothing more than a myth. And it was created long before the revolution in Russia, because there is no greyhound to live without enemies internal and external. After retiring, I had to work for some time under a contract in Australia, where I did not find Anglo-Saxons more than confirming the myth of the natural bloodthirstiness of Anglo-Saxons with a Russian bias. And in the English language press of all the leading cap countries, too. The only and natural desire of the Anglo-Saxons is that no one bothers them to live the way they are used to, even neighbors and friends. You can argue for a long and tedious fact that their habits and lifestyle are not what we like, but they are their habits and their lifestyle and they have the right, like everyone else, to live as they like. But the constant desire of the former USSR to impose its lifestyle on the rest of the world, including the Anglo-Saxons (i.e. citizens of other countries, including not only the Anglo-Saxons), they did not like and did not like, especially if they try to carry out this imposition by force of arms.
      I recently decided to refresh my memory and read some of Stalin’s works written by him in the pre-war period. One of the central ideas of these works is the need for the victory of socialism throughout the world without which the final victory of socialism in the USSR is impossible. The idea was voiced by Marx Engels and Lenin, but Stalin managed to develop a clear practical plan for the implementation of this idea and most likely would be able to realize it if Hitler had not interfered. And the very same Anglo-Saxons realized this very clearly, and their fears were voiced in Churchill’s famous speech in Fulton. If someone read this speech in the original, and not in the presentation of the political organs of the USSR, he would confirm that Churchill in his speech did not call for war with the USSR, but only that the West should be strong enough to withstand Soviet expansion. Well, they did not want them in the Gulag what to do. Then the West seemed to calm down somewhat, but Russia again gave it a reason and not one to revive this concern. Therefore, the West, soberly assessing its forces, realized that it was again seriously behind Russia in terms of military potential and was now feverishly trying to reduce this gap, especially in Western Europe.
      Well, the States do not need to fling with Russia either. They have everything in order with resources, and if they are scarce, that is, a lot of countries where they are in abundance and with which it will be easier to fight than with Russia without risking to get something very vigorous in response. A more serious threat to Russia now is China. He has tension and resources, and he does not need to sail to Russia, military power is growing by leaps and bounds and the technologies are already at a decent level. He is simply trying to scoop America away from its borders, but what kind of plans he has regarding Russia is a big question. While China manages to advance to the West, to Russia and other former republics without noise and dust (where it crawls where for money) and settles there in an orderly manner, But there may come a time when the pace of creeping annexation ceases to suit China and the Chinese tiger jumps. And to make it easier to jump, he is now trying to quietly push Russia’s West with his foreheads and then, when everyone is exhausted, take them “warm”.
      Those. Stalin’s pre-war strategy was adopted by Mao Jie Dong at the time and there are no signs that China abandoned it.
      What am I doing? And the fact that it is time to stop hysteria about the bloodthirsty, but at the same time, death of the Anglo-Saxons frightened by Russia and take a closer look at real threats, including internal ones. After all, separatism in Russia has not disappeared and many autonomies have so far been managed to be retained as part of Russia only with huge cash injections. As soon as the money runs out, their loyalty to Russia will end.

      And by the way, about the birds. Genetic weapons began to be created both in the USSR and in the West during the Vietnam War. In what condition it is currently unknown in Russia, because The collapse of the USSR prevented many developments, but no one interfered with the States. So there is a rather high probability that there he was brought to a decent level

        Dear, the question is why then precisely these same “Anglo-Saxons” actively impose their will on a huge number of countries through democratic bombing and humanitarian interventions, and these countries are located thousands of kilometers from neither. But the "former USSR" in the past 25 years, first climbed out of the den - to Syria and then at the invitation of the local government, against which a terrorist group, actively supported by the "Anglo-Saxons", is fighting?

        And yes - the fact that you read "some of Stalin's works" is good, but you have to understand it. that the USSR actually tied up with the idea of ​​a "world revolution" after the end of the Great Patriotic War ...

          SW Albert1988. To begin with, my comment was addressed to the one who mentioned the almost natural desire of the so-called Anglo-Saxons to the destruction of Russian.
          Further. In imposing their will on other countries, the United States was primarily seen, and they impose it on everyone, including their allies. They also would like to impose something on Russia, but they understand that this is fraught.
          With the campaign of the Russian bear in Syria, it is also not so simple and unambiguous, as it was not unambiguous with the introduction of a limited contingent in Afghanistan at the "request" of the Togolese government of Afghanistan. But now is not about that, because a completely different topic is being debated and it hardly makes sense to spread thought on a tree.
          And the last one. Yes, after the war with Germany, Stalin realized that the idea of ​​making the world a united USSR was hardly realizable, but nevertheless acted on the principle of "if not for me, then not for you." For example, none other than Stalin initiated the war in Korea, and this, together with his pre-war intentions, was more than enough for the West to intensify the confrontation of the USSR. We can add that the idea of ​​a preemptive strike against the West was alive until the collapse of the USSR, although the pre-war clause that if there was a war would be waged exclusively on foreign territory was removed from the official military doctrine. At the same time, the territory of the German Democratic Republic, Hungary, Poland and a number of other Warsaw Treaty countries were automatically considered theirs. Those. special intentions to engage completely with the pre-war doctrine was not observed. Yes, and in attempts to impose its will on a number of foreign countries (Egypt, Afghanistan, Vietnam, and far away), the USSR at that time was not very different from the same Anglo-Saxons. All this butting went under the auspices of the defense of "their national interests."
          What is happening now with Russia in terms of its “sorties from the den” can be assessed as a pen test or a test for the tooth of its capabilities (which for now for a number of reasons are very limited and there are no guarantees that as these opportunities increase, Russia will be limited only to Syria. in Syria, it’s important for her to basically establish there the base of the RF Armed Forces in order to keep the Mediterranean under the eye, as the Mediterranean Squadron of the USSR Navy kept the area in. The real price of the so-called friendship with Assad and the like, Russia understands no worse than us and special illusions P edannosti Arab leaders of Russia has not. Those friends with those who pay more or give for free what that these leaders need at the moment. For example do not need to go far. The same Egypt.

              And here is the question. And why did you have to surrender your national interests, which immediately led to an imbalance in the balance of power in the world? After all, even high school students understood that the Western world would immediately take advantage of this and try to become a dominant force, believing that such domination would be an additional guarantee that no one would try to change their lifestyle, etc. He, the West, took advantage of this.
              But why the USSR Armed Forces did not use their right and duty to protect the constitutional system of the USSR, including by force of arms, is still not clear.
              Yes, there could have been certain casualties among Soviet citizens, but their number would have been several orders of magnitude less than the number of victims incurred by the former republics of the Union after its collapse.
              Well, now ... '' 'Late, Vasya drink Borjomi, if the kidneys refused "
              Of course, you need to quietly restore the potential of Russia and the balance of power in the world, because only this can save this world, but it must be done calmly, without hysteria and not provoke “friends” to the reaction that we do not need, at least for now.
              Moreover, those who provoke fighting do not want to. Who wants to bomb their villas (and rakes) on the Cote d'Azur and other shores, erase colleges from the face of the Earth, where they study their offspring and put to fire the savings in foreign banks acquired by "overwork".
              Conclusion. All current military hysteria in Russia is initiated by these "servants of the people" exclusively for personal purposes, including with the goal of self-preservation from the anger of their own people.
              The method is effective and proven many times, and not only in Russia.
              Right now there is a struggle against terrorism everywhere. But this is the same as fighting against imperialism, capitalism, communism and other phenomena. Always on business and always on money. And it has long been proven by smart people that it is impossible to deal with phenomena in principle. It’s very profitable to use them as horror stories.

        No more stupidity can be said ... "Strong" genes, that is, dominant alleles of genes, are present in all nations, just their composition is different. So the Chinese, like all Asians, have dominant alleles. controlling the development of the epicanthus - the skin fold covering the lacrimal sac, which makes the eyes "slanted" - yes - once having received such an allele from one of the parents, the person will definitely pass it on to his descendants. But if, in equal proportions, the same Chinese and Russians mitigate for many generations, then in the end only dominant alleles will remain, and in the end an ideal intermediate form will be obtained.

      These differences are insignificant - among each nation there are a huge number of people who suffer from lactose intolerance, have a slow alcohol dehydrogenase, etc. Only their ratio is different - in a certain population of people with such features more. in some less.

Biological weapons can be used focally, and those who have serum from infections used in biological weapons in advance will have nothing to use them, and the epidemiological situation will be maintained until certain goals are achieved, namely, reducing the population in the area of ​​interest.

    The idea that in the West it is possible to create versions of weapons used (in perspective) against the gene code of a person of a certain nationality, is supported by State Duma deputy Gennady Onishchenko (the former chief sanitary doctor of Russia).

    Genka Onishchenko (Drishchenko) - the main lobbyist for GMOs in Russia has been and remains.
    At the meeting of the International Agribusiness Club in Moscow in 2010, Russian Chief Sanitary Inspector Gennady Onishchenko called GMO "a boon to the country"

    The head of Rospotrebnadzor, Gennady Onishchenko, has been in favor of a genetically modified product for more than a year and a half. 27 June 2012, during the hearings in the State Duma Onishchenko, who is also the head of the department of sanitary food hygiene, again touched on this topic. He said that Russians should not be afraid to use products containing GMOs.

    21 May 2013 on the Nevsky Ecological Forum, Chief Sanitary Doctor Gennady Onishchenko, who for years has been unswervingly protecting us from Georgian wine, Baltic sprats and other Borjomi, dared to take care of all earthlings at once: "Without the use of GMOs, it is impossible to provide products for people on Earth." Even now, a billion people are starving, and in order to feed everyone, it is necessary to introduce nanotechnology, biotechnology and GMO technology, and not try to go to the "patriarchal economy", because there is no "green economy" and "organic products" - he continued.


    etc.
    and now, in my opinion, on grants from the Monsanto Company, it is resting, and Mr. Onishchenko himself prefers to eat in the Michelin-style restaurant at Barber, where the “patriarchal” origin of food is obvious, and the quality, taste and aroma cause a continuous delight, despite all that “ Green economy ”or“ organic products ”, of course, does not exist. And we are entangled by the soldering of nano-bio-genetically modified food, tightly wrapped in polyethylene, and the taste is not much different from polyethylene.

          Dear, well, where did you read such nonsense? For your information, the so-called horizontal gene transfer is possible only with viruses that can infect, for example, a mouse and a cat that eats this mouse, then yes - such a virus, once copied by hooking a piece of the genome of one host, drags it into the genome of another. But the likelihood of this is immeasurably small. Moreover, the organism will turn off the introduced foreign gene by recognizing a different methyl code on it. And more importantly, plant viruses cannot physically infect humans (animals), so we don’t pick up the “alien gene” from transgenic potatoes, rather from a transgenic animal, but the funny thing is that this can happen to ordinary non-tansgenic animals ))))) This is something that does not scare us much))))

          In general, it’s time to abandon all these genetically fears - the genome of any organism is like secret blueprints in a secret design bureau - is kept under seven seals with a huge security system and in an inaccessible bunker, and only a “professional spy” - a virus can get into it, and then it’s evolved mechanisms. so about 1/3 of the human genome (almost 1 billion nucleotide pairs!) are just such suppressed viruses. which once penetrated our genome, but were heavily beaten by our defense mechanisms and now just weigh there as "genetically garbage")))))

        Shl. In the EU countries do not like GMOs because of the lack of their own manufacturers, and therefore violations of the principle of food security.

        Unlike traditional breeding, GM technology allows very accurately change the genome(The part of the DNA molecule that is the template for the synthesis of RNA), which means that if there is an evil intent, then once and again bring into the market a TASTE, slowly and selectively destroying certain categories of the population.

          Not biological, so economic.


          The cultivation of transgenic crops leads to the emergence of a strict dependence of national agricultural production on biotechnological corporations with the rights to cultivated GM crops, legalized by international law.

          And at the expense of biological weapons, you have already answered a friend from the promised land.

            Hmm, what then prevents us from creating our own transgenic cultures, getting huge crops, and bankrupting a European producer? My answer is “anti-GMO” legislation, lobbied through our bureaucrats bought, bought by the same Monsanto and other producers of transgenic crops in the west ... And they pay all the horror stories about “GMOs” in our country ...

              What for ? It’s easier and better to ban GMOs in Russia.

              all horror stories about GMOs


              I would not categorically assert that the "horror stories" about GMOs are nonsense.
              Independent studies on the harmfulness or harmlessness of these products to the human body have not been conducted. until now.
              And all the results, as it were, of "harmlessness" were obtained in laboratories of manufacturers of GMOs.

                I can’t disagree here - it’s easier to ban everything than to spend money that you can put in your pocket next to a bribe from those who lobbied for the law on the ban on GMOs ...

                Here things are like this - in the West, with its obsession with healthcare, there have long been independent specialized laboratories. who are testing new lines of transgenic organisms, and this has been done for a long time - it takes 5-7 years to test one line - that is, those lines that were created in 2009-1010 only will now go into circulation. at the same time, testing is not only on biochemistry, but also on several generations of dogs - on 3 usually, sometimes on 2 - 3 generations of monkeys, necessarily - on 10 generations of rats. At the same time, at least 3/4 of all new transgenic lines do not pass these tests, because there are only slight suspicions of possible harm.
                So somehow ...

    but continental diseases are different for all nations

    Another myth - there are no "continental diseases", what you described - there are only features of the populations. So in terms of resistance to alcohol, Russian Russian discord - someone can drink a lot and nothing to him - no dependence, but someone gets drunk better than the same peoples of the north. You understand - there are no such genetic features in humans that would be found only in the aquatic population and no longer in any other ... I repeat - genetically different nations are just a mix of the same components, but in different proportions ...
    But read it!
    Neither the Yakuts, nor the Evenks, nor the Chukchi knew the taste of alcohol until the Russians arrived on their land. Maybe this was due to the peculiarities of the national cuisine, maybe there was no need to "expand consciousness" - it is unknown. But the fact remains. As a result, they do not have the enzyme that breaks down ethyl alcohol. A rare native northerner can stand on his feet by tasting alcohol. Moreover, from now on, memories of past euphoria cloud his mind. In order to test it again, Yakut is ready for anything. This was used by the Russian conquerors of the North. A bottle of vodka in Siberian open spaces was in the position of hard currency. Alcohol was exchanged for valuable furs, minerals and other riches of the Russian North. Well this is rude. Http://www.goroskop.ru/publish/open_article
    /90488/. But professionally. The medical and biological aspects of the problem

    It is widely believed that indigenous northerners are genetically predisposed to the development of alcoholism. ... Indeed, some elements of the complex scheme of the metabolism of alcohol (ethanol) in the human body are under genetic control. The two stages of ethanol processing in the liver are the most studied in this respect. At the first, under the influence of the enzyme alcohol dehydrogenase, alcohol turns into toxic acetaldehyde. The speed of alcohol dehydrogenase is determined by the ADH1B * 47His allele. The second stage is the breakdown of acetaldehyde.

    If the enzymes of the second group work slowly (this provides the ALDH2 * 2 allele), a large amount of toxins accumulate in the body in a short time. Signs of poisoning develop: dizziness, palpitations, sweating, nausea and redness of the skin (a characteristic external manifestation, according to which the whole complex of symptoms is called a flash reaction, “flashing”). The main effect of the flash reaction is a feeling of lightheadedness, which forces many (unfortunately, not all - people, he overcomes everything ...) to stop further drinking.

    Exaggerating somewhat, we can say that the combination of the ADH1B * 47His and ALDH2 * 2 alleles determines the degree of “nastiness” of alcohol for a particular person. Representatives of various ethnic and racial groups often differ significantly from each other. A complex flash reaction is most characteristic of the peoples of Southeast Asia - Japanese, Chinese, Koreans, among whom up to 76% are carriers of the ADH1B * 47His allele, and 24-35% are ALDH2 * 2.

    In societies with a widespread η-form of alcohol dependence, such peoples have a very definite idea: "people are nothing there, sincere, but weak in drinking." Indeed, the volume of alcohol consumption in East Asia is significantly lower than in Europe, where the ALDH2 * 2 allele is almost not found, and the frequencies of ADH1B * 47His vary from 0 (Komi) to 1-10% (Finns, Swedes, Russians), only in rare groups, reaching 18% (Chuvash).

    Of course, in populations with high carriage of the alleles of interest to us, some individuals are resistant to alcohol. This combination of a rare Chinese genotype with “atypical flash” was evidently distinguished by Mao Zedong: his ability to drink much more than an ordinary person made a strong impression on those around him ...

    The genetic control of ethanol metabolism and interethnic differences in the frequencies of the corresponding genes began to be actively discussed more than 30 years ago [10]. Almost immediately they decided that the Asian frequencies of the alleles are also characteristic of the indigenous peoples of the North. The assumption, in general, is logical: the Chukchi, Eskimos, Nenets belong to the Mongoloid racial group, as do the Chinese. In popular publications, this point of view is firmly rooted, and the words about the “genetic determinism of ethanol metabolism” were understood as a synonym for “predisposition to alcoholism”. This was enough to create another legend about northern Aborigines in European society.

    Is she fair? Apparently not. First of all, as we have seen, the ratio of alleles specific to South Asians does not at all determine cravings for alcohol - rather, on the contrary, it provides protection against excessive drinking. Secondly, studies show, including ours, that the frequencies of the alleles ADH1B * 47His and ALDH2 * 2 are not Asian at all in the indigenous inhabitants of the Arctic.

    On the contrary, they practically do not differ from those characteristic for populations of central and northern Europe [9]. The allele ALDH2 * 2 is absent among northerners, and the concentration of ADH1B * 47His in the Chukchi and Eskimos reaches only 2-3%.

    Thus, based on the purely genetic side of the issue, it is most correct to conclude that the Northerners do not have a specific genetic defense against alcohol - just like the Russians, Komi, Finns "and other different Swedes." However, the specifics of the biochemical processes of assimilation of alcohol, the indigenous people of high-latitude regions really differ. Their ethanol metabolism is slowed down, its concentration remains high longer, exceeding the level normal for Europeans [10]. http://narvasadataa.livejournal.com/140751.html

      The fact is that Russians are very genetically heterogeneous - that is, there are two very different groups of Russians - conditionally northern, and conditionally south-central (they are one with the Ukrainians and Belarusians). Moreover, within these groups there is a very wide variety - many small subgroups within each large group. Therefore, for a complete picture, we must examine them all, which so far has not been done by anyone. Those frequencies that are given in the article are typical for the “northern” Russians rather than the southern ones.
      Among the peoples of the north, the dominance of several alleles is dictated by the extremely small size and large isolation of their populations in the absence of natural selection for alcohol resistance. For example, Germans and Czechs have developed resistance to phytoestrogens contained in beer, but for Russians these substances will be harmful. as for all other nations that do not have a thousand-year-old brewing culture. The population of Russians is simply huge and spread over a vast territory, which means our genetic diversity will be very large.
      All these differences are dictated by only small differences in the sequences of the corresponding genes - sometimes literally several nucleotides from the entire sequence differ in tens or even hundreds of thousands of nucleotide pairs. And these differences are not so great that some artificial virus recognizes them and embeds them exclusively.

    Nothing is impossible. For example, it was found that some peoples are more susceptible to the negative effects of alcohol than others. They slowly break down alcohol precisely because of the characteristics of genetics. The same can be found for viruses and germs. They wrote about AIDS that 100% fell ill with the black population of AIDS, while the rest - 22% did not get AIDS when they came into contact with the carrier. So the creation of targeted biological weapons is theoretically possible.
