보호식물이며, 약용식물인 깽깽이풀 (Jeffersonia dubia)을 대상으로 핵형 분석과 McFISH 기법을 이용한 염색체 분석을 수행하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 체세포 염색체 수는 2n=2x=12였으며, 2쌍의 중부 염색체 (염색체 1, 3), 2쌍의 차중부 염색체 (염색체 2, 4) 그리고 2쌍의 차단부 염색체 (염색체 5, 6)로 구분되었고, 염색체의 평균 길이는 $1.95{\sim}3.50{\mu}M$이었다. McFISH기법을 이용하여 45S와 5S rDNA의 염색체상의 위치를 확인한 바, 3쌍의 45S rDNA signal은 4번, 5번 그리고 6번 염색체의 단완 말단 부위에서 관찰되었고, 한 쌍의 5S rDNA signal은 2번 염색체의 동원체 부위에서 관찰되었다.

Giemsa C-banding방법으로 한국 재래종 찰옥수수의 핵형 및 염색체 상에 존재하는 knob의 수와 위치 등을 확인하고 모식도를 통하여 염색체의 특성을 나타내고자 재래종 찰옥수수 5개의 자식 계통 (inbred stock)을 조사하였다. knob의 수는 6-12개이었고 평균 9.2개이었으며 계통별로 차이가 있었으며, knob을 가지고 있는 염색체도계통별로 차이가 있었다. YS-1의 경우 6번, 7번, 8번 그리고 9번 염색체에서 knob을 가지고 있었는데, MY-1의경우 1번, 2번, 3번, 6번, 「번 그리고 9번 염색체에서 knob을 가지고 있었다. 염색체의 장완과 단완의 비율, 염색체의 상대적 길이 등을 비교해 보기 위하여 YS-1과 MY-1 두 계통을 조사해 본 결과 두 계통 간에 차이가 있었고, 염색체의 상대적 길이는 YS-1이 큰 것으로 나타났다. Giemsa C-banding법은 재래종 찰옥수수의 계통별 특성과 이를 이용한 계통 분류에도 효과적으로 이용할 수 있을 것으로 생각된다.

We sought to breed an industrially useful yeast strain, specifically an ethanol-tolerant yeast strain that would be optimal for ethanol production, using a novel breeding method, called genome reconstruction, based on chromosome splitting technology. To induce genome reconstruction, Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain SH6310, which contains 31 chromosomes including 12 artificial mini-chromosomes, was continuously cultivated in YPD medium containing 6% to 10% ethanol for 33 days. The 12 mini-chromosomes can be randomly or specifically lost because they do not contain any genes that are essential under high-level ethanol conditions. The strains selected by inducing genome reconstruction grew about ten times more than SH6310 in 8% ethanol. To determine the effect of mini-chromosome loss on the ethanol tolerance phenotype, PCR and Southern hybridization were performed to detect the remaining mini-chromosomes. These analyses revealed the loss of mini-chromosomes no. 11 and no. 12. Mini-chromosome no. 11 contains ten genes (YKL225W, PAU16, YKL223W, YKL222C, MCH2, FRE2, COS9, SRY1, JEN1, URA1) and no. 12 contains fifteen genes (YHL050C, YKL050W-A, YHL049C, YHL048C-A, COS8, YHLComega1, ARN2, YHL046W-A, PAU13, YHL045W, YHL044W, ECM34, YHL042W, YHL041W, ARN1). We assumed that the loss of these genes resulted in the ethanol-tolerant phenotype and expect that this genome reconstruction method will be a feasible new alternative for strain improvement.

This paper provides a basis for investigating 'The Origin of Artificial Species,' as a robot can be considered as an artificial creature. To design an artificial creature, its general internal architecture is presented and its artificial chromosomes are proposed as its essential components. Rity as an artificial creature is developed in a virtual world of PC to test the world's first robotic 'chromosomes,' which are a set of computerized DNA (Deoxyribonucleic acid) codes for creating robots (artificial creatures) that can have their own personality, and can ultimately reproduce their kind, or even evolve as a distinct species. The effectiveness of the artificial chromosomes is demonstrated by implanting the genetic code into two Ritys living in a virtual world, in order to define their personality.

Genetic algorithm was motivated by biological evaluation and has been applied to many industrial applications as a powerful tool for mathematical optimizations. In this paper, a new genetic optimization algorithm is proposed. The proposed method is based on Mendel's law, especially dominance and recessive property. Homologous chromosomes are introduced to implement dominance and recessive property compared with the standard genetic algorithm. Because of this property of suggested genetic algorithm, homologous chromosomes looks like the chromosomes for the standard genetic algorithm, so we can use most of existing genetic operations with little effort. This suggested method searches the larger solution area with the less probability of the premature convergence than the standard genetic algorithm.

GAs, effective stochastic search algorithms based on the model of natural evolution and genetics, have been successfully applied to various optimization problems. When population size is not large, GAs often suffer from the phenomenon of premature convergence in which all chromosomes in the population lose the diversity of genes before they find the optimal solution. In this paper, we propose that a new heuristic that maintains the diversity of genes by adding some chromosomes with random mutation and selective mutation into population during evolution. And population size changes dynamically with supplement of new chromosomes. Experimental results for several test functions show that when population size is rather small and the length of chromosome is not long, this method is effective.

In order to analyze chromosome numbers and karyotypes of intestinal trematodes belonging to the genus, Metagonimus, the gonad tissues of M. takahashii, M. miyatai, and M. yokogawai were prepared and examined. The number of bivalents in the first meiotic division of M. takahashii was nine (n＝9). The diploid number of M. miyatai was observed to be eighteen (2n＝18) and their chromosomes consisted of one pair of metacentric, 7 pairs of submetacentric, and one pair of telocentric chromosomes. The diploid number of M. yokogawai was thirty-two (2n＝32) and the chromosome complements were composed of two pairs of metacentric, 11 pairs of submetacentric, and three pairs of subtelocentric chromosomes. These results could be a supporting evidence for the validity of the new species, M. miyatai, distinct from M. yokogawai.

Nucleic scids transfer the genetic information for serving a central biological purpose. The nucleic acids are polymers of nucleotides and they are mainly ribonucleic acid(RNA) and deoxyribonucleic acid(DNA). The nucleotides are stoichiometrically composed of five-carbon sugars, nitrogeneous bases, and phosphoric acids. The chemistry of nucleic acids and characteristics of different genomes are decribed for further study. Most of DNA genomes tend to be circular including bacterial genomes and eukaryotic mitochondrial DNA. Eukaryotic chromosomes in cells, in contrast, are generally linear. The ends of linear chromosomes are called telomeres. The genomes of different species, such as mammals, plants, invertebrates can be compared with the chromosome ends. The telomeric complex allows cells to distinguish the random DNA breaks and natural chromosomal ends. The very ends of chromosomes cannot be replicated by any ordinary mechanisms. The shortening of telomeric DNA templates in semiconservative replication is occurred with each cell division. The short telomere length is critically related to aging, tumors and dieases.

We investigated the cytogenetic characteristics of male black-striped field mouse (Apodemus agrarium) in Korea. Chromosome slides were obtained from blood cell cultures which were synchronized with thymidine blocking or not. In the chromosome slide which synchronization with thymidine blocking was employed on, the GTG(G bands by trypsin using Giemsa)-bands of high resolution were observed. The male black-striped field mouse has 48 chromosomes composed 46 autosomes and XY sex chromosomes. The centromeric regions of autosomes were positive to GTG-banding. According to this investigation, thymidine blocking in cell culture process was useful to get lengthened chromosomes. It may be necessary to employ RBG-banding technique to investigate complementary band patterns between R- and G-banding in black-striped field mouse.

This experiment was carried out to identify the chromosomes of silkie. It was many difference from other breeds in morphology and characteristics. In this experiment, chromosomal analysis was used early embryos. In aspect of morphological chromosomes, chromosomal size and shape are similar to other breeds. The chromosomes of silkie were shown to morphlogy as follows. They were identified that chromosome #l and #2 were grouped as submentacentric, ＃3, ＃5 and ＃6 were telocentric ＃4 and ＃7 were acrocentric and ＃8 was metacentric chromosome. Zㆍsex chromosome was shown 5th, W-sex chromosome was 8th to 9th and they were metacentric chromosome, respectively. Each chromosome through the G-banding was shown the 3 dark bands in 1 p2, distinct light band in 1p1, dark band in 2p2, broad light band in 3pl, dark band from centromere and distal part in 4th chromosome and dark band in 5pl. Z-sex chromosome was shown dark at p-arm distal part.
