염기서열 디자인은 DNA computing, 샘물정보학 등의 분야에서 실험 설계시 고려해야할 중요한 문제 중의 하나이다. 이 문제는 다양한 조건을 만족시키는 최적의 염기서열 집합을 생성하는 조합 최적화 문제로 생각될 수 있으며, 염기서열이 갖추어야 할 조건을 적합도 함수로 사용한 진화 연산 등의 방법이 적용되어 왔다. 본 논문에서는 여러 논문들에서 제시된 적합도 함수의 구체적인 형태를 해 공간상에서 조사해 보았으며, 각 적합도 함수간의 관계도 분석해 보았다.

DNA의 염기서열이 밝혀지면서 인간 생체에 대한 다양한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 응용분야 중 친자확인에 DNA 염기서열을 이용하려는 시도가 최근에 연구되고 있다. 본 연구는 DNA의 반복 염기서열을 이용하여 수작업으로 이루어지고 있는 친자 찬인 방법을 데이터베이스 기술을 이용하여 수행하는 최초의 연구이다. 방대한 양의 자료에서 친자확률을 계산하는데 걸리는 시간은 DB를 구축하는 방법에 크게 좌우된다. 본 논문에서는 친자확률을 계산하는 시간을 최소화할 수 있는 DB를 설계하고 또한 최소 시간내에 질의 결과를 획득하는 질의 구성하는 방법을 제안한다.

3차 비선형광학 재료를 설계하기 위해 단성분 산화물에서의 산소의 평균 전자분극률과 광학 염기도를 굴절율, 에너지 갭의 각기 다른 물성을 통해 산출하였다. Lorentz-Lornez식과 Duffy 의 반실험식을 도입하여 산소의 평균 전자분극율과 광학 염기도를 두가지 다른 물성으로부터 계산하여 비교하였다. 처음으로 독립적인 초기값에서 계산한 각각의 산소의 평균 전자분극률과 광학 염기도 사이에 좋은 상응관계가 있음을 확인하였다.

생물체가 생명을 영위하기 위해 수행하는 모든 기능들에 대한 정보는 각 개체가 가지고 있는 유전체가 들어있다. 그런데 각 생물체마다, 심지어는 한 생물체의 서로 다른 염색체마다 그 전체 염기서열에서의 base-composition은 같지 않고, 또한 이 구성비에는 일정한 특징이 있다. 따라서 이 논문에서는 각 생물체들의 전체 염기서열을 구성하는 염기의 구성비에 대해 조사하고 비교해 보고자 한다.

DNA(Deoxyribo Nucleic Acid)컴퓨팅은 생체분자를 계산의 도구로 이용하는 새로운 계산 방법으로 DNA 정보 저장능력과 DNA의 상보적인 관계를 이용하여 연산을 수행하는 방법이다. 최근에는 DNA 분자들이 갖는 강력한 병렬성을 이용하여 NP-Complete 문제에 적용하는 연구가 많이 시도되고 있다. Adleman이 DNA 컴퓨팅을 이용해 해결한 HPP(Hamilton Path Problem)와는 달리 TSP(Traveling Salesman Problem)는 간선에 가중치가 추가되었기 때문에 DNA 염기배열로 표현하기가 어렵고 또한 염기배열의 길이를 줄이기 위해 고정길이 염기배열을 사용할 경우 가중치가 커지면 효율적이지 못하다. 본 논문에서는 스무딩 알고리즘(smoothing algorithm)을 사용하여 간선의 가중치를 일정한 비율로 줄인 다음 유전자 알고리즘을 사용하여 최적의 염기배열을 찾는 방법을 제안하였다.

This study was performed to determine sequences of the mt DNA D-loop region, including $tRNA^{Pro}$ and $tRNA^{Pre}$ and to analysis sequence variation polymorphism in Korean cattle. The resulting sequencies were compared with previously published sequences for other cattle breeds(GenBank J01394). The PCR was used to amplify an 1142bp between nucleotides 15061 and 404 within the D-loop region of mt DNA using specific primers. Korean cattle showed 24 polymorphic sites by nucleotide substitutions and insertions of single base pairs. About 50% of polymorphic sites were found in positions 16042 to 16122 with the most variable region. Among these polymorphic sites, variations at 16055, 16230 and 16260 bp were detected as new sequence variants in Korean cattle. These specific polymorphic sites have not been reported in the Japanese black cattle and European cattle. Therefore, mt DNA variants in the D-loop region may be used as genetic markers for specifying Korean cattle. The frequencies of positions 169, 16302, 16093, 16042, 16119 with a high level of sequence polymorphism were 0.81, 0.56, 0.56, 0.50 and 0.43, respectively. In comparison of genetic distances, Korean cattle showed the more closely to European cattle as Bos taurus than Bos indicus such as African and India breeds. In conclusion, these mt DNA sequence polymorphisms in the D-loop region for Korean cattle may be useful for the analysis of cytoplasmic genetic variation and associations with economic important traits and genetic analysis of maternal lineage.

ITS DNA sequences of two variants of Pinus spp. having single fasciculate leaf or two to three fasciculate leaves within an individual were analysed in order to determine their origin. Also, the same DNA locus of P. densiflora, P. rigida and P. koraiensis, distributed at the same region together with the OTUs having leaf variations, were analysed to compare with each other. Aligned sequences including ITS1, 5.8S and ITS2 were 580~584 bp in length. The 5.8S region was well conserved among all the OTUs we tested except for P. koraiensis, which has two nucleotide substitutions. The partial ITS1 region upstream of the 5.8S region showed relatively high sequence diversity compare to the ITS2 and has 181~185 bp in length. In this region, the sequences of the two variants were identical to that of P. densiflora. The ITS2 has identical for all OTUs in length and the two variants also have same sequences compare to that of P. densiflora. These two variants and samples of P. densiflora were grouped together in the UPGMA tree with 100% similarity level. The result strongly suggest that these two variants were originated from P. densiflora.

There are three pseudourdine ($Psi$)bases in the E. coli $tRNA^{phe}$ In order to study the function of the pseudouridine bases in the $tRNA^{phe}$, changes of bases $tRNA^{phe}$ gene to other bases were undertaken by the site-specific mutagenesis. Site-specific mutagenesis of T in the pheW gene, a $tRNA^{phe}$ gene of E. coli, corresponding to the baseat the No.32 position to C and also T corresponding to the base at the No.39 position to C were performed using Kunkel's uracil-containing template method. Identification of mutants were undertaken by the KNA sequencing techniques of the mutated pheW genes and activities of the mutated pheW genes complementing to E. coli NP37 mutant($pheS^{-ts}$) using the recombinant plasmid containing the mutated genes. Neither NP37 harboring pheW gene mutated at No.32 position nor NP37 harboring pheW gene mutated at No.39 position can be grown at non-permissive temperature. The result means that both mutated pheW genes can not complement to E. coli NP37, and that the pseudouridine bases are essential to the activity of the E. coli $tRNA^{phe}$ in vivo.

This study was designed to examine the diversity census of fungi in rumen microbiome via meta-analysis of fungal 28S rDNA sequences. Both terms, "rumen" and "ruminal," were searched to retrieve the sequences of rumen fungi. As of September 2016, these sequences (n=165) of ruminal origin were retrieved from the Ribosomal Database Project (RDP; http://rdp.cme.msu.edu), an archive of all 28S rDNA sequences and were assigned to the phyla Ascomycota, Neocallimastigomycota, and Basidiomycota, which accounted for 109, 48, and 8 of the 165 sequences, respectively. Ascomycota sequences were assigned to the genera Pseudonectria, Magnaporthe, Alternaria, Cochliobolus, Cladosporium, and Davidiella, including fungal plant pathogens or mycotoxigenic species. Moreover, Basidiomycota sequences were assigned to the genera Thanatephorus and Cryptococcus, including fungal plant pathogens. Furthermore, Neocallimastigomycota sequences were assigned to the genera Cyllamyces, Neocallimastix, Anaeromyces, Caecomyces, Orpinomyces, and Piromyces, which may degrade the major structural carbohydrates of the ingested plant material. This study provided a collective view of the rumen fungal diversity using a meta-analysis of 28S rDNA sequences. The present results will provide a direction for further studies on ruminal fungi and be applicable to the development of new analytic tools.

Instability of some eukaryotic sequence propagated in prokaryotic hosts is a frequently observed phenomenon. It is well documented that long inverted repeats, AT-rich sequences with structures like Z-DNA are extremely unstable in E. coli. These sequences may either be under-represented or even lost when cloned in E. coli. When we analyzed the polymorphic pattern for several tandom repeat (TR) in human SCKI gene, we found some TR regions were frequently deleted from plasmids and had difficult problem for their sequencing. These regions may result in non-clonability of the DNA sequence. Here we have cloned two difficult TR regions under low temperature and made two library for DNA sequencing using a nebulizer or sonicator. This study will help to determine the unstable genomic elements in complex mammalian genome.
