: A male Russian desman was captured in the Spassky district of the Ryazan region, Russia, 2008 with a collection permit No. 29 issued by Rosprirodnadzor of the Russian Federation on May 12, 2008. The animal lived in captivity at the experimental base ‘Chernogolovska’ of the Institute of Ecology and Evolution A. N. Severtsov of the Russian Academy of Sciences until 2015 and died of old age. The carcass was frozen and the tissue sample for the present study was taken in 2021. The animal was captured and maintained in captivity for purposes completely separate from those of the present study. We have carried out no animal experimentation in our study. Our study has solely been based on a sample taken from an archived dead specimen.
