Abstract
At least twice in its history, the Department of Genetics of the St. Petersburg University played a key role in the development of the field of genetics in Russia: first, at the outset of the origins of genetics in the country; and then once again during its comeback after Lysenkoism. At the beginning of the 20th century, the study of genetics in Russia was lagging significantly behind Europe and the United States. The first Russian paper on genetics, “Mendelism or the Theory of Breeding,” was published by Professor Yelly Bogdanov only in 1914 (Bogdanov, 1914), years after Thomas Hunt Morgan and his students had laid the foundation for the chromosome theory of inheritance. This publication is a summary of key achievements and events in science and education that have taken place at the Department of Genetics of the St. Petersburg University over the course of the past 100 years.
圣彼得堡大学遗传学系在其历史上至少两次在俄罗斯遗传学领域的发展中发挥了关键作用:第一次,在该国遗传学起源的开始;然后在李森科主义之后再次回归。20世纪初,俄罗斯的遗传学研究明显落后于欧洲和美国。俄罗斯第一篇关于遗传学的论文《孟德尔主义或育种理论》(Mendelism or The Theory of Breeding)是由叶利·波格丹诺夫(Yelly Bogdanov, 1914)教授在1914年发表的,而在此之前,托马斯·亨特·摩根(Thomas Hunt Morgan)和他的学生已经奠定了染色体遗传理论的基础。本出版物总结了圣彼得堡大学遗传学系在过去100年中在科学和教育方面取得的重要成就和事件。
