Using internal transcribed spacer 1 (ITS1) region ribosomal DNA sequences from 9 strains of Microsporum canis and 5 strains of Microsporum gypseum isolated from dogs and a cat with dermatophytosis, we demonstrated the mutual phylogenetic relationship of these strains. Nucleotide sequence analysis of the ITS 1 gene fragments from the 9 strains of M canis had the 100% nucleotide sequence similarities and the 5 strains of M gypseum also had the 100% nucleotide sequence similarities. The phylogenetic analysis of the nucleotide sequences of the 9 strains of M canis formed a nested cluster with the reference strains of M canis originating from USA, Australia, Japan, and Europe. M canis were genetically distinct from the other reference strains of Microsporum spp, but M distortum, M equinum, and M. ferrugineum were genetically very close to M canis. M gypseum from a cluster in the phylogenetic tree with M canis as an outgroup. The molecular analysis of ITS 1 genes provided the useful information for the identification of these microsporum species and the understanding of their relationship.

We conducted a phylogeographic analysis of Korean endemic Zacco koreanus populations inhabiting the East-flowing river (Gangneung Yeongokcheon; GY, Yangyang Namdaecheon; YN), the Han River (Seomgang; SG, Soksacheon; SS), and the Nakdong River(Gilancheon; GA) using the mitochondrial DNA cytochrome oxidase I (COI) gene (619 bp). Population genetic analysis was further performed to assess the population connectivity for the GY river where there is a large number of human-made artificial weirs with several fishways. The phylogeographic analysis revealed that while the populations of the East-flowing river and those of the Han River formed a monophyletic lineage, the Nakdong River individuals represented a distinct lineage with 3.7-4.2% (mean=4.0%) genetic distance from the other lineages. The population genetic analysis of the GY showed that a mid-stream population harbored relatively higher mitochondrial diversity relative to up- and down-stream populations, and there was no genetic differentiation between these three populations. The latter findings might suggest high genetic connectivity between the populations via genetic flow along the fishways. However, an analysis using faster-evolving genetic markers, such as microsatellites, is needed to confirm the findings of high population connectivity. Our study suggests the possibility of the presence of cryptic species in Z. koreanus in the Nakdong River basin. However, further study with more individual samples as well as additional markers or even more advanced genomic tools is required to test our hypothesis. Ecological or phenotypic analyses should be conducted to test whether the observed Nakdong River lineage represents a different or cryptic species, or simply hidden, but excessive, intraspecific diversity.

An estuary is a water ecosystem with a high abundance of the species diversity, due to a variety of complex physicochemical factors of the area where freshwater and ocean mixed. The identification of Corbicula species in the estuary environments is difficult because of various morphological characteristics. In this study, we provide taxonomic information on Corbicula species with taxonomic difficulties using morphological and genetic analysis. This study was conducted on clams from the Seomjin River-Gwangyang Bay, one of the major production area of marsh clam in Korea. As a result, we characterized Cytocrome C Oxidase subunit I (COI) sequences of the Corbicula. The 636 bp nucleotide sequences of COI have 98% homology among Corbicula species collected from 2 sites of Seomjin River-Gwangyang Bay. The phylogenetic analysis with 17 species of Corbicula indicated that most of the species collected from Seomjin River-Gwangyang Bay were brackish water clam (Corbicula japonica), and only one Asian clam (Corbicula fluminea). The evolutionary distance between C. japonica and C. fluminea was less than 0.003. Therefore, it was confirmed that C. japonica is phylogenetically closely related to C. fluminea. In 9 species of Cyrenidae, phylogenetic tree was classified into three lineages. These results will be used as an important data for an identification of clam species by providing genetic information for Corbicula species with a morphological diversity.

A molecular phylogenetic relationship inferred from mitochondrial cytochrome b gene sequence was developed based on analysis of Zacco species distributed in Korea as well as China, Japan and Taiwan. A maximum parsimony (MP) tree showed that Korean Z. temminckii and Z. koreanus formed a monophyletic clade, but the populations of Z. temminckii and Z. koreanus in the 'South Korean Subdistrict' region had genetic similarity with Japanese Z. temminckii. Korean Z. platypus had a closer relationship with Japanese members of the clade than with Chinese Z. platypus, which was more closely related to Opsariichthys uncirostris amurensis. The analysis of neighbor joining (NJ) tree may support a hypothesis that the clade of Z. platypus had genetically diverged from the common ancestor of Zacco species comprising Z. koreanus, Z. temminckii, Z. sieboldii and other species; thereafter a cladogenesis of Z. koreanus and Z. temmminckii had occurred from the ancestor of Z. sieboldii. Moreover, the Chinese Z. platypus had diverged far from the Korean Z. platypus and formed a phylogenetic relationship with O. uncirostris amurensis. Therefore, a more detailed study of the taxonomy and systematics of Zacco species in regard to their zoogeographical distributions is needed.

한국산 Drosophila melanogaster species group 8종의 생화학적 유연관계를 조사하기 위하여 3령기 유충, 말기 번데기, 성체의 세 발생단계에서 각각 효소 분석을 실시하였다. Rogers의 공식에 의해 각 발생단계 별로 8종간의 유전적 유사도를 계산하고 그 값을 근거로 UPGMA법에 의한 dendrogram을 작성하였다. 발생단계에 따라 관찰된 효소allele의 빈도는 큰 차이를 나타냈는데 이는 효소의 활성도나 유전자 발현의 발생단계별 차이로 생각되었다 이러한 발생단계별 효소분석 결과의 차이에도 불구하고 세 발생단계에서 모두 같은 pattern의 dendrogram이 얻어졌다. 따라서 대소 분석은 성체뿐만 아니라 유충이나 번데기와 같은 초기발생단계를 재료로 취할 때에도 종간 유연관계의 분석에 유용한 분석법이 될 것으로 생각할 수 있었다 세 발생단계에서 효소분석을 통해 얻어진 결과로 볼 때 D. melanogaster species group 8종은 크게 두개의 계통으로 나뉘었는데 D. melonogaster와 여. simulons, D. lutescens가 한 계통에 속했고 D. suzukii와 D. aurauia, D. biourariu, D. trioururia, D. rufa가 다른 한 계통에 속하고 있는 것으로 나타났다.

Silver croaker (Pennahia argentata) is a turbulent species that is widely distributed worldwide and is mainly found in the bottom of the ocean. In the study, we characterized the cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) gene of the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) on P. argentata inhabiting Gwangyang Bay and analyzed the phylogenetic location of marine fish species. As a result of multiple arrangement of 605 bp COI sequences, high homology of mtDNA nucleotide sequences was confirmed in the silver croakers from Gwangyang Bay (98~100%). However, the nucleotide variation was different according to the catching points of the inland and the open seas of Gwangyang Bay. The nucleotide sequence variation in COI was high in P. argentata from the open seas of Gwangyang Bay (43.2~70.3%). Furthermore, the phylogenetic analysis of 13 fish showed that P. argentata from Gwangyang Bay were grouped into one clade with P. argentata reported in Taiwan, and the evolutionary distance was 0.036. In addition, it was identified that the evolutionary distance was close to that of fish belonging to the Mi-iuy croaker (Miichthys miiuy) and the Big-head pennah croaker (Pennahia Macrocephalus) (0.041~0.048). The result of these studies will be used as the key genetic information for fisheries resources monitoring and species diversity management according to the coastal environment.

차세대 염기 분석(NGS) 장비의 발달로 시퀀스 분석에 대한 연구는 가속화 되고 있다. 조각들로 이루어진 리드들을 어셈블하는 방법부터 이미 유전체의 정보가 알려진 데이터베이스를 이용하여 정보를 명명하는 방법까지 다양한 방법들에 대한 방법들이 주를 이루고 있다. 하지만 어셈블하는 툴마다 다른 입력 포맷을 요구하고 있어 NGS의 결과로 다양한 방법으로 어셈블하여 비교 분석하기 쉽지 않다. 뿐만 아니라 생물 학자들이 세포내의 진화나 계통발생학적 분류를 위한 연구를 위해서 유전체 지도 완성 후 세포내의 기관별 분리 분석이 필요하나 참고 시퀀스로부터 매핑 및 기관별 분리 분석을 위해 사용목적에 따라 입력 포맷이 다른 다른 툴을 사용해야한다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 핵, 색소체, 미토콘드리아와 같은 세포내 기관에 대한 정보를 알기 위해 최소의 정보를 입력하여 분석하고자하는 시퀀스을 입력하여, 최대한 유사하게 매칭되는 유전체를 찾아 분석하는 방법을 제안함으로써, 진핵세포내의 발생학적 연구에 도움이 되는 방법을 제안하고자 한다.
