China has numerous native domestic goat breeds, but so far there has been no extensive study on genetic diversity, population demographic history, and origin of Chinese goats. To determine the origin and genetic diversity of Chinese goats, we analyzed the complete mtDNA D-loop sequences of 183 goats from 13 breeds. The haplotype diversity value found in each breed ranged from 0.9333 to 1.0000. The nucleotide diversity value ranged from 0.006337 to 0.025194. Our results showed that there were four mtDNA lineages (A, B, C and D), in which lineage A was predominant, lineage B was moderate, and lineages C and D were at low frequencies. Lineages C and D were observed only in the Tibetan breed. The results revealed multiple maternal origins of Chinese domestic goats. There was weaker geographical structuring in the 13 Chinese goat populations, which suggested that there existed high gene flow among goat populations caused by the extensive transportation of goats in the course of history.

Nine microsatellite loci were analyzed in 84 random individuals to characterize the genetic variability of three domestic goat breeds found in Korea and China: Korean goat, Chinese goat and Saanen. Allele diversity, heterozygosity, polymorphism information content, F-statistics, indirect estimates of gene flow (Nm) and Nei's standard distances were calculated. Based on the expected mean heterozygosity, the lowest genetic diversity was exhibited in Korean goat ($H_E$=0.381), and the highest in Chinese goat ($H_E$=0.669). After corrections for multiple significance tests, deviations from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium were statistically significant over all populations and loci, reflecting the deficiencies of heterozygotes (global $F_{IS}$=0.053). Based on pairwise FST and Nm between different breeds, there was a great genetic differentiation between Korean goat and the other two breeds, indicating that these breeds have been genetically subdivided. Similarly, individual clustering based on the proportion of shared alleles showed that Korean goat individuals formed a single cluster separated from the other two goat breeds.

한국재래염소의 계통유전학적 위치를 확인하기 위해서 한국재래염소 4개 집단 48두를 공시한 후 mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) 내부의 cytochrome b 유전자의 전체서열을 분석하였다. 또한 이 서열들을 이용하여 한국재래염소의 유전적 다양성을 확인하였고, 다른 나라의 여러 염소품종들과의 계통유전학적 분석을 수행하였다. 한국재래염소 cytochrome b 유전자 서열을 토대로 3개의 염기변이가 동정되었으며, 그 중 2개는 아미노산 치환을 일으키는 missense 변이로 확인되었다. 또한 4개의 haplotype으로 분류되었는데, 이 중 3개는 중국 재래염소 품종에서도 나타났으나 다른 나라의 품종에서는 확인되지 않았다. 계통유전학적 분석 결과 모든 재래흑염소는 4개의 clade를 형성하였으나, 5개의 야생염소와는 독립적인 그룹을 형성하였다. 한국재래염소는 mtDNA D-loop에 분류되는 여러 모계혈통 중 모계혈통-A로 추정되는 clade 1에 포함되었다. 한국재래염소에서 보여진 각각의 haplotype은 중국 재래염소품종들과 상대적으로 가까운 유전적 유연관계를 보였다. 기존 연구결과와 본 연구의 분석결과를 종합해보면 과거에 일부 중국 재래 염소품종이 한반도로 유입되어 한국재래염소의 기원 및 가축화에 영향을 주었을 것으로 사료된다.

This study was carried out to obtain information about preferences of the meat food in 491 Koreans including the ones living in New Zealand. General preference for the meats was not significant differences according to sex, monthly income level, residing area, marriage status and family number. Degree of preferences for the meats which have consumed commonly such as beef, pork and chicken showed relatively a high tendency, but the meats such as goat, lamb, deer and turkey were very low in preference score. In the meats cooking style, most subjects preferred Korean style followed by Chinese and western style. The younger had a high score than the older inpreference of the processed meats. The meat foods subjects preferred were Tzeams, Kui, Tangs, cutlets and Tangsuyuks. There were not significant differences in preferences for the meats between Korean living in domestic and New Zealand. This study showed that the meat foods which theirs preference was high have had a high tendency in the intake frequency also. Preferences for the meat food was affected by intake frequency and amount of intake and nutritional knowledge, but not related to BMI, health status and monthly income level.
