Later, it was published monthly in Tilsit (present-day Sovetsk). Even though only forty issues were published and circulation did not exceed 1,000, it was a significant event marking the beginning of the Lithuanian national rebirth that eventually resulted in an independent Lithuanian State (1918–1940). This period, between 1883 and 1904, when the Lithuanian press ban was enforced by Tsarist authorities, has been referred to as the Aušros gadynė (the Dawn Period).

Varpas, with circulation of about 500 to 1,000 copies, played a pivotal role in the Lithuanian National Revival. Tautiška giesmė, one of poems by founder and editor Vincas Kudirka written to commemorate the 10th anniversary of Varpas, became the Lithuanian national anthem. Editorial staff of Varpas later started two more specialized publications: more practical Ūkininkas (The Farmer, 1890–1905) for less educated peasants and apolitical Naujienos (News, 1901–1903) for general public.

BPIFB9P
Vomeromodulin is a non-human protein also known as BPI fold containing family B, member 9 (BPIFB9) in the rat encoded by the Bpifb9/RYF3 gene, and as BPI fold containing family B, member 9A (BPIFB9A) encoded by the Bpifb9a gene in the mouse. This protein has been characterized in mammals such as rodents, carnivores, even-toed ungulates, insectivores, bats, lagomorphs, and shrews but is apparently absent in primates and other vertebrates such as birds, reptiles, and amphibians. Its function is associated with detection of chemical odorant pheromone molecules.

In humans no protein is expressed and it is present only as a pseudogene BPIFB9P. The pseudogene was named based on its functional ortholog found in the other species.

BPIFA4P
BPI fold containing family A, member 4 (BPIFA4) is a non-human protein encoded by the Bpifa4 gene in mammals such as monkey, cat, and cow but does not appear in rodents and humans. It is also known as Latherin in horse, encoded by the Lath/Bpifa4 gene but is somewhat divergent from the other species. Latherin/BPIFA4 is a secreted protein found in saliva and sweat.

In humans, no functional protein is expressed, therefore BPIFB4P is referred to as a pseudogene. However, a non-functional protein does appear; it known as BASE protein, secreted by breast cancer cell lines and salivary gland tissue (see section below).
