Abstract: Identifying new sources and drivers of regional development is an important task in the context of a slowdown in the growth of the national economy. Territories of advanced development, the purpose of which is leveling the country's spatial and economic imbalance, act as one of these drivers. The hypothesis of the research is that a number of monoprofile territories has specific inborn features that form their predisposition to advanced development. To prove the hypothesis, the objective of the research was to develop a scientific and methodical approach allowing one to estimate integrally the production, social and institutional legacy of monoprofile territories and to reveal their predisposition to advanced development. As a methodological basis of the research, the genetic approach was adopted that was presented by the authors at the level of defining codes, allowing them to analyze the hidden "nuclear forces" of territories created for long time and also to identify hereditary signs of advanced development. A methodological framework for defining the social and economic genotype of a territory is developed and the matrix method of identification of its kernel on the basis of comparison of the norms of Frobenius reflecting positive and negative code transformations is developed. The testing of the authors' method of a research is carried out on the case of territories of advanced development of the Ural region, the exploration of a large part of which was completed in the eighteenth century. The region possesses properties of "a mining civilization". The identified social and economic genetic signs can be used in the course of the assessment of monoprofile territories applying for the status of advanced development areas, for coordinating types of state support and the directions of innovative development, expansion of industrial modernization and institutionalization of small and medium-sized businesses.
