본 연구는 유전자 기능예측에 있어서 유사성 검색과 비교유전체학이 가진 한계를 극복하기 위하여 9종의 Human Herpesvirus를 대상으로 COG와 계통유전학적 방법을 적용하여 향상된 유전자 기능예측을 하고자 하였다. COG의 방법을 이용하여 114 HCOGs (Human Herpesvvirus COGs)를 구축하고, HCOGs를 바탕으로 유전자 컨텐츠트리를 제작하였다. 이 트리를 통하여 각 HCOG는 $\alpha$-특이적 그룹, $\beta$-특이적 그룹, $\alpha$, $\beta$, ${\gamma}$ -특이적 그룹 중 하나에 속함을 보였다. 계통유전체학의 적용을 위하여 u, $\beta$, ${\gamma}$ -특이 그룹에 속하는 ORF중 DNA polymerase를 이용하여 종트리를 제작하였다. SDI (Speciation and Duplication) 알고리즘을 통하여 148개의 당단백질에서 47개의 복제점을 예측하였고, 초기 HCOG의 제작에서 제외되었던 7 ORF는 당단백질과 관련된 5개의 HCOG로 재 정의 하였다. 이 연구를 통하여 COG는 ortholog 그룹을 를러스터링하는데 효과적인 방법이며, 이를 더욱 보완할 수 있는 방법으로 비교유전체학이 사용될 수 있음을 확인하였다. 이는 비교유전체학의 방법과 계통유전체학적 방법을 조화시켜 유전자 기능 예측을 보완할 수 있음을 보여 주었다.

최근 들어 게놈기능연구는 주요국가의 새로운 국가적 연구표적으로 지정되면서 유전자기반 생물산업의 핵심으로 부각되고 있다. 이러한 발전은인간(2001년 2월 인간 게놈의 초안 발표)을 비롯한 생물체의 게놈구조가 규명되어 이 유전자구조정보를 web상에서 쉽게 알아낼 수 있는데서 비롯된다. 포스트게놈시대의 게놈기능연구를 총괄적으로 '기능유전체학 (Functional Genomics)'이라고하며 여기에는 핵산(DNA나 RNA)을 표적으로 게놈기능을 연구하는 genomics(유전체학, RNA발현을 대상으로 하는 transcriptomics(전사체학) 포함), 총체적인 단백체를 대상으로 유전자기능을 연구하는 proteomics(단백질체학) 및 대사물질을 대상으로 하는 metabolomics(대사체학), 이들 분야를 공통적으로 지원하는 bioinformatics(생물정보학)로 구분된다. 본 고에서는 프로테오믹스 분야를 중심으로 소개하고자 한다.

Bioinformatics is a discipline to support biological experiment projects by storing, managing data arising from genome research. In can also lead the experimental design for genome function prediction and regulation. Among various approaches of the genome research, the proteomics have been drawing increasing attention since it deals with the final product of genomes, i.e., proteins, directly. This paper proposes a data mining technique to predict the structural characteristics of a given protein group, one of dominant factors of the functions of them. After explains associations among amino acid subsequences in the primary structures of proteins, which can provide important clues for determining secondary or tertiary structures of them, it defines a sequence association rule to represent the inter-subsequences. It also provides support and confidence measures, newly designed to evaluate the usefulness of sequence association rules, After is proposes a method to discover useful sequence association rules from a given protein group, it evaluates the performance of the proposed method with protein sequence data from the SWISS-PROT protein database.

Hexaploid wheat (common wheat/bread wheat) is one of the most important cereal crops in the world and a model for research of an allopolyploid plant with a large, highly repetitive genome. In the heritability of agronomic traits, variation in gene presence/absence plays an important role. However, there have been relatively few studies on the variation in gene presence/absence in crop species, including common wheat. Recently, a reference genome sequence of common wheat has been fully annotated and published. In addition, advanced next-generation sequencing (NGS) technology provides high quality genome sequences with continually decreasing NGS prices, thereby dawning full-scale wheat functional genomic studies in other crops as well as common wheat, in spite of their large and complex genomes. In this review, we provide information about the available tools and methodologies for wheat functional genomics research supported by NGS technology. The use of the NGS and functional genomics technology is expected to be a powerful strategy to select elite lines for a number of germplasms.

Transposable elements (TEs) occupy approximately 45% of the human genome and can enter functional genes randomly. During evolutionary radiation, multiple copies of TEs are produced by duplication events. Those elements contribute to biodiversity and phylogenomics. Most of them are controlled by epigenetic regulation, such as methylation or acetylation. Every species contains their own specific mobile elements, and they are divided into DNA transposons and retrotransposons. Retrotransposons can be divided by the presence of a long terminal repeat (LTR). They show various biological functions, such as promoter, enhancer, exonization, rearrangement, and alternative splicing. Also, they are strongly implicated to genomic instability, causing various diseases. Therefore, they could be used as biomarkers for the diagnosis and prognosis of diseases such as cancers. Recently, it was found that TEs could produce miRNAs, which play roles in gene inhibition through mRNA cleavage or translational repression, binding seed regions of target genes. Studies of TE-derived miRNAs offer a potential for the expression of functional genes. Comparative analyses of different types of miRNAs in various species and tissues could be of interest in the fields of evolution and phylogeny. Those events allow us to understand the importance of TEs in relation to biological roles and various diseases.

One large topic in comparative genomics is to predict functional annotation by classifying protein sequences. Computational approaches for function prediction include protein structure prediction, sequence alignment and domain prediction or binding site prediction. This paper is on another computational approach searching for sets of homologous sequences from sequence similarity graph. Methods based on similarity graph do not need previous knowledges about sequences, but largely depend on the researcher's subjective threshold settings. In this paper, we propose a genome sequence clustering method of iterative testing and graph decomposition, and a simple method to calculate a strict threshold having biochemical meaning. Proposed method was applied to known bacterial genome sequences and the result was shown with the BAG algorithm's. Result clusters are lacking some completeness, but the confidence level is very high and the method does not need user-defined thresholds.

Plant metabolomics is a research field for identifying all of the metabolites found in a certain plant cell, tissue, organ, or whole plant in a given time and conditions and for studying changes in metabolic profiling as time goes or conditions change. Metabolomics is one of the most recently developed omics for holistic approach to biology and is a kind of systems biology. Metabolomics or metabolite fingerprinting techniques usually involves collecting spectra of crude solvent extracts without purification and separation of pure compounds or not in standardized conditions. Therefore, that requires a high degree of reproducibility, which can be achieved by using a standardized method for sample preparation and data acquisition and analysis. In plant biology, metabolomics is applied for various research fields including rapid discrimination between plant species, cultivar and GM plants, metabolic evaluation of commercial food stocks and medicinal herbs, understanding various physiological, stress responses, and determination of gene functions. Recently, plant metabolomics is applied for characterization of gene function often in combination with transcriptomics by analyzing tagged mutants of the model plants of Arabidopsis and rice. The use of plant metabolomics combined by transcriptomics in functional genomics will be the challenge for the coming year. This review paper attempted to introduce current status and prospects of plant metabolomics research.
