The peculiarities of gene expression in line and hybrid rats in the normalcy and after partial hepatectomy were studied. It was shown that the relationship between the RNA synthesis rate in chromatin and RNA transport in the cytoplasm as well as the correlation between the RNA transport rate and the activity of the protein-synthesizing mechanism vary in animals with different genotypes. After partial hepatectomy the hybrids have their S-period of the cell cycle earlier than the line animals. The hybrids do not differ from the parental forms in the rate of RNA chromatin synthesis; however, the newly synthesized RNA of the hybrids in transported into the cytoplasm 5.7 and 5 times faster than that of the lines Vistar and August. The rapidly transported RNA of hybrids is likely to have a more prolonged life as compared to the line animals. After partial hepatectomy an activation of the whole gene expression system occurs. The differences in the gene expression system of hepatocytes of inbred and hybrid animals in the regenerating liver become less pronounced.
