The present study was carried out to establish the standard karyotype of the Korean Native Chicken and to find their chromosomal band markers using high-resolution banding technique. Chromosome analysis was performed on early chick embryos following in vitro culture of fertilized eggs of the yellow-brown and the red-brown lines of the Korean Native Chicken which had been established at National Livestock Research Institute. The high-resolution banding of the chromosome was achieved by treating the embryos with ethidium bromide and colchicine during culture. On GTG-banding, the Korean Native Chicken exhibited a typical chick banding pattern in all the macrochromosomes. Overall chromosomal morphology and positions of typical landmarks of the Korean Native Chicken were virtually identical to those of White Leghorn and International System for Standardized Avian Karyotypes(ISSAK). However, the lengths and G-band numbers of the Korean Native Chicken macrochromosomes were greater than those of White Leghorn and ISSAK. Especially in chromosomes 1 and Z, the Korean Native Chicken exhibited more separated bands in compared with ISSAK. In C-banding patterns, although a lot of observed cells had C-band polymorphic patterns, almost the Korean Native Chicken macrochromosomes had heterochromatic C-band on centromeres and/or near terminal part. However, the heterochromatic C-band was constantly observed at the end of q-arm of Z chromosomes and on the whole W chromosome. In addition, the Korean Native Chicken exhibited distinctive heteromorphic patterns of C-bands on the centromere of chromosome 3 and at the end of q-arm of Z chromosome between homologous chromosomes.

포배단계의 북미산 표범개구리 Rana pipiens의 핵을 국내종 북방산개구리 Rana dybowskii의 무핵난에 이식하여 형성되는 nucleocytoplasmic hybrid 개체는 초기 낭배시기를 전후하여 치사하는 조합임이 핵치환 실험에 의하여 밝혀졌다. 이들의 치사원인이 이질세포질의 존재에 의한 일시적 현상인지 또는 발생도중 핵내에 일어난 영구적 변화에 의한 것인지를 조사하기 위한 노력의 일환으로 치사직전 개체의 염색체를 분석한 결과, 염색체의 수와 염색체의 일부분에 구조적 이상이 다양하게 관찰되었다. 따라서 이질세포질에서 DNA의 이상복제가 진행되었음을 나타내고 있으며 그 결과 비정상적 염색체를 가진 할구의 형성과 부분 난할등이 유발되어 결국 치사하는 것으로 사료된다. 또한 nuclocytoplasmic 개체의 lethality 는 정상개체와의 접촉에 의해 교정되지 않는 조직의 내적 특성임이 hybrid의 조직을 정상 embryo로 이식시킨 실험을 통해 명확히 밝혀졌다.

The Karyotypes of Korean Sciurus uulgaris coreae and Tamias sibiricus asiaticus were analyzed by the G-banding method. Chromosomes of two species could be identified by G-banding patterns. The banding patterns of chromosomes 9, 10, 12 and X of S. vulgaris coreae were identical to those of chromosomes 6, 9, 12 and X, respectively of T. sibiricus asiaticus. It was shown that chromosomes 4, 10, 7 and 17 of T. sibiricus asiaticus resulted from pericentric inversion of chromosomes 1, 7, 8 and 16 of S. vulgaris coreae. These results suggested that pericentric inversion was an important factor in the karyological differentiation of two species.

The chromosome constitutions in two cases of uterine carcinoma were studied in vitro with particular interest to the non-random distribution. The results obtained are as follows: 1. The chromosome numbers of one case were found within a normal diploid range with mode at 46, while those of the other were whithin hypotriploid range with mode at 60. 2. The data from the latter case indicated possible existence of non-random distribution of chromosome.

Karyotype analysis and chromosomal localization of 5S and 45S rDNAs using multi-color fluorescence in situ hybridization (McFISH) technique were carried out in Bupleurum longeradiatum. Somatic metaphase chromosome number was 2n=12. Karyotype was composed of three pairs of metacentrics (No.3, 4 and 6) and three pairs of submetacentrics (No. 1, 2 and 5). The length of somatic prometaphase chromosomes ranges from 2.55 to $5.05{\mu}m$ with total length of $18.15\;{\mu}m$. In FISH experiment, one pair of 5S rDNA signals was detected on the pericentromeric region of chromosome 4 and one pair of 45S rDNA signals was detected on the telomeric region of chromosome 2.

In this study, yeast artificial chromosome Insert (YAC) harboring genes which related xylan metabolism was constructed by using chromosome manipulation technique. For efficient chromosome manipulation, each splitting fragment (DNA module) required for splitting process was prepared and these DNA modules were transformed into Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain YKY164. By two-rounds chromosome splitting, yeast chromosome VII (1,124 kb) was split 887 kb-YAC, 45 kb-mini YAC and 198 kb-YAC and YKY183 strain containing 18 chromosomes was constructed. Splitting efficiency for chromosome manipulation was 50- 78% and expression level of foreign genes on 45 kb-mini YAC and enzyme activity were indistinguishable from that of the YKY164 strain. Furthermore, xylan-degraded products by recombinant enzymes were confirmed and mini-yeast artificial chromosome maintained stable mitotic stability without chromosome loss during 160 generations.

The chromosome numbers of two species (Culter brevicauda and Erythroculter erythropterus) of Korean Cultrinae are investigated. In two species, the mitotic chromosomes from 24 groups with two chromosomes each indicated that it is a diploid. Their karyotypes and total length of chromosomes were slightly different from each other. The karyotype of C. brevicauda and E. erthropterus is 2n=48 (7M+10SM+7ST), FN=96 and 2n=48 (6M+10SM+8ST), FN=96. Observed chromosomes of C. brevicauda and E. erythropterus ranged from 5.4 to $2.2{\mu}m$ and 6.1 to $2.3{\mu}m$ in length, respectively.

For the karyotype analysis of Liobagrus hyeongsanensis, an endemic Korean torrent catfish, ten females and five males were used from Yangbuk-myeon, Gyeongju-si, Gyeongsangbukdo, Korea. The diploid number of chromosomes was 42, and its karyotype consisted of 30 metacentrics and 12 submetacentrics; 84 FN (fundamental number), with having no polyploidy and sexual dimorphism. The chromosome number was the same as other closely-related species, L. mediadiposalis and L. somjinensis, but their karyotypes showed a clear difference by species. Such result may be related to chromosomal rearrangements by Robertsonian rearrangement with geographical isolation.

Purpose: Radiation adaptive response in human peripheral lymphocytes and mouse bone marrow cells was investigated using both metaphase analysis and micronucleus assay. We assessed the correlation between both tests. Materials and Methods: Two groups of the human peripheral lymphocytes and mouse bone marrow cells were exposed to low dose (conditioning dose, 0,18 Gy) or high dose (challenging dose, 2 Gy) ${\gamma}$-rays. The other 4 groups were exposed to low dose followed by high dose after several time intervals (4, 7, 12, and 24 hours, respectively). The frequencies of chromosomal aberrations in metaphase analysis and micronuclei in micronucleus assay were counted. Results: Chromosomal aberrations and micronuclei of preexposed group were lower than those of the group only exposed to high dose radiation. Maximal reduction in frequencies of chromosomal aberrations were observed in the group to which challenging dose was given at 7 hour after a conditioning dose (p<0.001). Metaphase analysis and micronucleus assay revealed very good correlation in both human lymphocytes and mouse bone marrow cells (r=0.98, p<0.001 ; r=0.99, p=0.001, respectively). Conclusion: Radiation adaptive response could be induced by low dose irradiation in both human lymphocytes and mouse bone marrow cells. There was a significant correlation between metaphase analysis and micronucleus assay.
