Abstract

Brassica rape is an important species used as a vegetable, oil, and fodder worldwide. It is related phylogenically to Arabidopsis thaliana, which has already been fully sequenced as a model plant. The 'Multinational Brassica Genome Project (MBGP)'was launched by the international Brassica community with the aim of sequencing the whole genome of B. rapa in 2003 on account of its value and the fact that it has the smallest genome among the diploid Brassica. The genome study was carried out not only to know the structure of genome but also to understand the function and the evolution of the genes comprehensively. There are two mapping populations, over 1,000 molecular markers and a genetic map, 2 BAC libraries, physical map, a 22 cDHA libraries as suitable genomic materials for examining the genome of B. rapa ssp. pekinensis Chinese cabbage. As the first step for whole genome analysis, 220,000 BAC-end sequences of the KBrH and KBrB BAC library are achieved by cooperation of six countries. The results of BAC-end sequence analysis will provide a clue in understanding the structure of the genome of Brassica rapa by analyzing the gene sequence, annotation and abundant repetitive DHA. The second stage involves sequencing of the genetically mapped seed BACs and identifying the overlapping BACs for complete genome sequencing. Currently, the second stage is comprises of process genetic anchoring using communal populations and maps to identify more than 1,000 seed BACs based on a BAC-to-BAC strategy. For the initial sequencing, 629 seed BACs corresponding to the minimum tiling path onto Arabidopsis genome were selected and fully sequenced. These BACs are now anchoring to the genetic map using the development of SSR markers. This information will be useful for identifying near BAC clones with the seed BAC on a genome map. From the BAC sequences, it is revealed that the Brassica rapa genome has extensive triplication of the DNA segment coupled with variable gene losses and rearrangements within the segments. This article introduces the current status and prospective of Korea Brassica Genome Project and the bioinformatics tools possessed in each national team. In the near future, data of the genome will contribute to improving Brassicas for their economic use as well as in understanding the evolutional process.

유전체 연구란 목적하는 유전체의 구조를 밝히고 가지고 있는 모든 유전자의 기능 및 진화과정을 망라하여 이해하고자 하는 것이다. 계통발생학상 애기장대와 연관되어 있는 Brassica rapa는 채소, 유지 및 사료로 이용되는 중요한 작물의 하나이다. Brassica rapa의 유전체 연구를 착수하는 데는 적합한 유전학적 재료 및 유전체 재료가 있어야 한다. 우리는 배추 (Brassica rapa spp. pekinensis)를 재료로 하여 표준 mapping 집단을 개발하여, 78계통으로 구성된 DH집단과 약 250 계통으로 구성된 RI집단을 개발하였다. 2가지 제한효소 (HintIII, BamHI)를 이용해 세균인공염색체 (BAC) library (KBrH, KBrB)를 만들었고, 이들은 각각 56,592개와 50,688개의 클론으로 구성되어 있다. 또한 배추의 각기 다른 부위를 이용하여 만든 22가지의 cDNA library를 이용하여 평균 575bp의 길이를 가지는 104,914개의 EST 분석을 실시 하였다. 세계적으로 'Multinational Brassica Genome Project (MBGP)' 조직이 구성되었고 배추의 전 염기서열 분석을 하기로 2003년 결정되었다. 그 첫 단계로 104,914개의 BAC 클론의 BAC-end 염기서열분석이 제안되어 2006년 9월 5개국 공동 프로젝트로 추진하여 완성하게 되었다. 이러한 BAC-end 염기서열분석의 결과는 유전자의 염기서열 해석, 및 풍부하게 존재하는 반복염기서열 DNA를 분석함으로써 배추의 유전체 구조를 이해할 수 있는 실마리를 주었다. BAC 클론의 전체 염기서열분석은, 비록 단편 내에 유전자의 결실이 변화무쌍하게 일어나지만 배추 DNA 단편이 유전체에서 광범위하게 삼중복으로 존재함을 나타냈다. 이러한 BAC-end 염기서열을 아기장대 염기서열에 비교하여 629개의 종자 BAC을 선정하게 되었고, 이들의 염기서열 분석을 완성하였다. MBGP에서는2단계로서 배추의 전 유전체 염기서열 분석을 추진하게 되었고, 유전자지도에 위치한 종자 BAC을 이용하여 인접한 BAC 클론을 찾아 염기서열 분석하는 BAC-to-BAC 방법을 추진하고 있으며 8개국에서 참여하여 현재 염기서열 분석을 추진 중 이다. 최근에 각 국에서는 생물정보학기법을 활용한 염기서열 분석 기반에 대하여 많은 토론이 진행되고 있다. 앞으로 다양한 유전체 정보가 축적됨에 따라 배추의 유전체 구조를 이해하고 농업적으로 적용하고자 하는데 기여를 할 것이다.
