The Grey-capped greenfinch (Chloris sinica) is a polytypic species that exhibits complicated geographical variation in morphology. This study provides an intraspecific phylogeographic variability of C. sinica populations in Korea with their morphometric data. The observed morphometric variations were that Ulleung island population was morphologically distinct in bill length and depths as compared to the mainland populations. Phylogenetic relationships among mitochondrial COX1 regions provided evidence for genetic differentiation between Ulleung and mainland populations. However, their genetic distances and nucleotide diversities were very low, highlighting their recent divergence. The needs for additional research is heightened to substantiate if the genetic clines in different localities may arise in C. sinica subspecies, each of which could have different breeding and wintering habitats, distribution patterns, and migration pathways.

Dill (Anethum graveolens L.) is an annual herb with a long history and it is mainly used as a spice and as a medicine that is effective as a digestive aid, a sedative, and a narcotic, and that helps remove bad breath. Dill grows wild in the districts along the shores of the Mediterranean Sea, West Asia, China, and Korea. An estimate of the phylogenetic relationships within dill accessions in 20 countries was inferred using data from the rps16-trnK3-intergenic spacer. The aligned data sets for dill ranged from 747 to 779 nucleotides (bp) as a result of the differences in the insert/delete nucleotides. The sequence variation within the dill accessions was mostly due to nucleotide substitutions, although several small insertions and deletions can be found. Among 100 accessions from 20 countries, the Eastern Asia accessions were more closely related to the North American accessions than to the Central Asia and European accessions. Although some accessions were not congruent completely with geographical locations, the dill accessions with rps16-trnK analysis resulted in plants with better-resolved clades.

Phylogenetic reconstruction based on one locus or a few loci can be misleading due to gene-tree/species-tree discordance. Species delimitation and intraspecific studies also often suffered from low resolution because of insufficient statistic power when few loci were used. Exon capture method is one of the most efficient way to collect genome-scale data, which can significantly augment studies that aimed to investigate patterns and histories of organisms at both intraspecific and high level. Here, I showed the advancement of shifting from single-gene method to genomic approach and the benefit of applying exon capture method comparing to alternative genomic techniques. Then, I explained the principle of exon capture method as well as providing detailed recommendations for applying this method. Finally, I demonstrated exon capture method using two applications and discussed future perspectives of this technology.

일차 담수어류의 잉어과(Cyprinidae)에 속하는 Zacco속 어류 4종과 이와 근인관계가 가까운 Candid유속 어류 1종에 대한 유전적 변이를 조사하기 위하여, 한국, 일본 및 대만에서 채집된 개체를 대상으로 전기영동을 실시하여 24-28개의 유전자를 검출 분석하였다. 각 종의 유전적 변이 정도를 조사한 결과 Zaccoplotypus는 전 집단 평균 h: 1.22, p= 17. 52%, HD = 0.053 및 HD= 0.056으로서 조사한 전종중에서일근 변이가 가장 높았다. Z. pachycepholus의 유전적 변이 정도는 A= 1.17, p= 14.8%, HD: 0.026, HG=0.027로서 Z. ploDpus보다 변이 정도가 낮았고, Z. temminck와 Candidia barbata는 각기 A= 1.07, p =7.95%, HD = 0.011, HG = 0.013 및 A= 1.05, P= 3.7%, Hd: 0.013, HG = 0.011로서 변이 정도가 가장 낮았다. Z. Platypus의 경우 한국집단이 변이가 가장 높았으며 대만집단이 가장 낮았다. Zacco속과 Candid지속 어류의 평균 유전적 변이정도는 타어류의 유전적 변이보다 낮았으며 이는 한국산 담수어류중 잉어과 어류의 일반적인 특징이라 사료된다.

Korean native goats, which are characterized by black coat color, have existed on the Korean peninsula for a long time. Until now, there has been no comprehensive investigation concerning their genetic diversity, phylogenetic analysis or origin. In this study, we investigated the genetic diversity and verified phylogenetic status of the Korean native goat using the 453-bp fragment of the hypervariable fragment I (HVI) of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) D-loop region from 60 individuals among 5 populations. The Korean native goat showed less haplotype diversity when compared with goats from other countries. In addition, 6 haplotypes that had not been previously reported were verified in this study. In phylogenetic analyses with other country's goats, 10 haplotypes from Korean native goats were classified into mtDNA lineage A. Moreover, in a phylogenetic tree for goats which contained mtDNA lineage A, 8 of 10 haplotypes could be included in a subgroup with goats from Vietnam and an area of China. However, none of the remaining haplotypes belonged to a major group of Korean native goats and were located on different independent positions. These results suggest that almost Korean native goats aligned more closely to China and Vietnam breeds in mtDNA lineage A and there was no gene flow from other mtDNA lineages. Our results will contribute to conservation strategies and genetic breeding of Korean native goats.

Rat $\beta$-casein 유전자와 사람 성장호르몬 (hGH) 유전자의 융합유전자를 생쥐 수정란의 웅성전핵에 미세주입하여 형질전환생쥐 (transgenic mouse) 6계통을 확립하였다. 이들로부터 사람성장호르몬(hGH) 유전자의 발현 여부를 조사한 결과, 6계통중 4계통의 생쥐 유즙에서 hGH가 2~900 ng/ml 수준으로 발현되고 있었으며, 혈중에서는 hGH가 검출되지 않았다. 따라서 이들 형질전환생쥐에서 사람성장호르몬이 우선특이적으로 발현, 분비되고 있음을 알 수 있었다. 한편, 사람성장호르몬의 발현이 확인된 두 계통 (ChGH2-2, CChGH2)의 형질전환생쥐를 대상으로 하여 세대별, 산차별로 유즙내 사람성장호르몬의 함량을 조사한 결과, 3세대에 걸쳐, 또한 제1세대에서의 세차례 반복된 비유기에도 유즙내 사람성장호르몬은 지속적으로 분비되고 있었다. 이상의 결과는 형질전환생쥐에서의 외래유전자의 발현성은 반복되는 비유기와 여러 세대에 걸쳐 안정적으로 유지됨을 보여 주고 있다.

본 논문에서는 확률적인 전역 최적화 알고리즘인 유전 알고리즘과 경험적인 최적화 알고리즘인 타부 탐색법을 병렬화함으로써 최적해 탐색성능 및 탐색속도를 개선하는 방안을 개발하였다. 배전계통의 주변압기에서 고장이 발생한 경우에는 여러 정전구역에 대한 복구문제가 되어 매우 복잡하고 많은 연산량을 수반한다. 따라서 제안한 고장복구 알고리즘은 PC 클러스트링을 이용하여 각 프로세서별로 유전 알고리즘 또는 타부 탐색법을 사용하여 최적해를 탐색한 후 일정 기간 이후에 해를 교환함으로써 배전계통에서의 주변압기 고장발생시 최적해 탐색에 소요되는 시간을 단축하였으며 고장복구 지원시스템의 성능개선을 도모하였다. 제안한 알고리즘의 유용성을 입증하기 위하여 한전의 실 배전계통 주변압기 고장복구 문제에 적용함으로써 제안한 알고리즘이 해의 탐색속도 및 해의 성능면에서 우수함을 입증하였다.

Genetic divergence and phylogenetic relationships among the major Korean fireflies (Hotaria papariensis, Luciola lateralis, and Pyrocoelia rufa) were studied. A portion of mitochondrial COI (403 bp) and 165 rRNA (490~504 bp) genes were sequenced, and the GenBank-registered, homologous 165 rRNA sequences of Japanese fireflies were compared (27 species of Lampyridae, one of Lycidae, and one of Rhgophthalmidae). Greatest DNA and/or amino acid sequence divergence was found when P rufa, belonging to Lampyrinae was compared with H. papariensis and L. lateralis, both belong-ing to Luciolinae, confirming the current taxonomic status of the species. In the PAUP and PHYLIP analyses with 165 rRNA data, grouping of the two geographic samples of H. papariensis with H. tsushimana validate the use of generic name, Hotaria. Nevertheless, lack of sister-group relationship of the two geographic samples of H. papariensis renders further investigation on this group . Although the Korean and Japanese L. lateralis formed a strong monophyletic group, a substantial genetic differentiation was detected between them (2.9% of 165 rRNA gene sequence divergence). Finally, the geographic samples of Korean p. rufa strongly formed a group with Japanese p. rufa, warranting the use of generic name, Pyrocoelia, but the genetic distance observed between the Cheju-Island individual and all others requires further investigation on this subject. Summarized, this study supports the current taxonomic status of the Korean fireflies in that each respectively formed a strong monophyletic group with its own species or genus.

한국 특산종 C. longicolpus의 지리적 변이를 조사하고자 discriminant function 분석에 의한 형태적 변이 그리고 전기영동법에 의한 유전적 변이를 전국적으로 조사하였다. 11개 집단의 discriminant function분석결과 11개 집단은 형태적으로 뚜렷한 차이 없이 유사하였다. 13개 집단의 유전적 변이를 조사한 결과는 13개 집단 평균 A = 1.37, P = 29.96%, HD = 0.076 및 HG = 0.083으로 일반적인 담수어류의 종내 집단 간 평균 유전적 변이정도보다 다소 높게 나타났다. 평균 유전적 근연치는 5 : 0.88으로 타 어종의 일반적인 집단 및 유전적 근연정도와 유사하였다.
