마이크로 어레이 기술은 유전자 네트워크의 순서 와 게놈의 통합과 같은 많은 업적을 기여하고 있으며, 이러한 기술은 유전자 발현의 패턴을 조사하기 위한 수단 등으로 잘 확립 되어있다. DNA 마이크로배열은 Affymetric 칩을 이용하여 대량의 DNA 서열을 합성 할 수 있는데 기존의 DNA 어레이 스포팅에는 일반적으로 접촉방식과 압전전자 방법등 두가지 유형이 있다. 접촉방법은 유리 슬라이드 표면과 접촉하도록 스포팅핀을 사용하는데 이 방법은 표면 매트릭스의 손상이나 상처가 발생할 수 있어 단백질이 오염 되거나 특정 결합을 방해할 위험이 있다. 반면에 압전전자 방법은 대량 생산이 가능함에도 불구하고 결과를 인쇄할 분석기가 필요하므로 현재 실험실 내에서만 수행 가능한 실정이다. 본 논문에서 유리 슬라이드 표면에 닿지 않고 지속적으로 일관성 있게 스포팅이 가능하도록 하는 진보된 방법을 제시한다.

외국의 경우 게놈 연구 및 바이오산업에 DNA 칩을 제작할 수 있는 로봇 시스템을 싼 가격에 사용하고 있으나 우리나라의 경우 자동화 시스템을 비싼 가격에 외국에서 도입하여 사용하기 때문에 바이오산업 및 연구 분야에서의 생산비를 높이게 돼 국내외적으로 생명공학의 경쟁력을 저하시키는 원인이 된다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 유전체 연구에 필수적인 DNA 칩 제작을 위한 연구용 pin 타입 microarrayer를 개발하였으며, 그 구체적인 연구결과는 다음과 같다. 1. 본 연구에서는 DNA칩 제작을 위한 연구용 pin 타입 microarrayer를 개발하였으며 3축 직교좌표형 로봇 본체, DNA를 묻혀 silylated 슬라이드에 점착하는 DNA 점착 헤드, 칩 및 웰 플레이트 고정부, 핀을 세척 및 건조하는 세척 및 건조장치 등으로 시스템을 구성하였다. 2. DNA 점착 헤드는 DNA 점착시 제도용 펜촉을 사용하도록 설계, 제작하였으며, 슬라이드에 DNA를 점착할 때는 핀이 일정한 힘으로 슬라이드를 누르며 점착할 수 있도록 자석의 반발력을 이용하였다. 3. DNA 점착 헤드 핀의 세척을 위하여 증류수 분사 및 진동 브러쉬를 이용하였으며 세척실험 결과, 핀을 1mm/s로 이동시키며 브러쉬를 통과하도록 하는 방법이 세척효과가 높은 것으로 나타났으며, 핀 건조실험결과는 $8.5kg_f/cm^2$의 압축공기를 30초 동안 핀에 분사하였을 때 핀이 건조되는 것으로 나타났다. 4. 본 로봇 시스템을 이용하여 DNA를 12장의 슬라이드에 모두 점착시키기 위하여 웰 플레이트에서 핀이 DNA를 묻히는 실험을 실시한 결과, 10초 이상 핀에 DNA를 묻혔을 때 슬라이드 12장을 모두 찍는 것으로 나타났으며, 슬라이드에 핀이 1초간 접촉할 때의 DNA 스팟의 크기는 평균$280{\mu}$ 가 되는 것으로 나타났다. 최소 점 간격을 0.32mm로 설정한 후 DNA를 점착해 본 결과 최대 8,100여 점의 DNA 스팟을 한 슬라이드에 점착할 수 있는 것으로 나타났다. 5. 본 로봇 시스템은 12장의 동일 DNA 칩을 생성하기 위해 핀의 세척, 건조, DNA를 묻히는 과정 및 DNA 점착 등의 한 과정을 2분 50초 동안 수행할 수 있는 것으로 나타났다.

We propose glass and PDMS (polydimethylsiloxane) chips for DNA amplification with continuous-flow PCR (polymerase chain reaction). The PDMS microchannel was fabricated using a negative molding method for sample injection. Three heaters and sensors of ITO (indium-tin-oxide) thin films were fabricated on glass chip. ITO heaters and sensors were calibrated accurately for the temperature control of the liquid flow. ITO heater generated stable heat versus applied power. ITO sensor resistance was changed linearly versus temperature increase as a RTD (resistance temperature detector) sensor. As a result, we enable precision temperature control of continuous-flow PCR chip. Using the continuous-flow PCR chip DNA plasmid pKS-GFP 720 bp was successfully amplified.

Poultry products are an important source of Salmonella enterica. An effective way to reduce food poisoning due to Salmonella would be to breed chickens more resistant to infection. Unfortunately host responses to Salmonella are complex with many factors involved. To learn more about responses to Salmonella in young chickens of 2 wk old, a cDNA Microarray containing 13,319 probes was performed to compare gene expression profiles between two chicken groups under control and Salmonella infected conditions. Newly hatched chickens were orally infected with S. enterica serovar Enteritidis. Since the intestine is one of the important barriers the bacteria encounter after oral inoculation, intestine gene expression was investigated at 2 wk old. There were 588 differentially expressed genes detected, of which 276 were known genes, and of the total number 266 were up-regulated and 322 were down-regulated. Differences in gene expression between the two chicken groups were found in control as well as Salmonella infected conditions indicating a difference in the intestine development between the two chicken groups which might be linked to the difference in Salmonella susceptibility. The differential expressions of 4 genes were confirmed by quantitative real-time PCR and the results indicated that the expression changes of these genes were generally consistent with the results of GeneChips. The findings in this study have lead to the identification of novel genes and possible cellular pathways, which are host dependent.

In recent, injection molding process for features in sub-micron scale is under active development as patterning nano-scale features, which can provide the master or stamp for molding, and becomes available around the world. Injection molding has been one of the most efficient processes for mass production of the plastic product, and this process is already applied to nano-technology products successfully such as optical storage media like DVD or BD which is a large area plastic thin substrate with nano-scale features on its surface. Bio chip for like DNA sequencing may be another application of this plastic substrate. The DNA can be sequenced using order of 100 nm pore structure when making the DNA flow through the pore structure. Agarose gel and silicon based chip have been used to sequence the DNA, but injection molded plastic chip may have benefit in terms of cost. This plastic DNA sequencing chip has plenty of pillars in order of 100 nm in diameter on the substrate. When the usual features in case of DVD or BD have very low aspect ratio, even less than 0.5, but the DNA chip will have relatively high aspect ratio of about 2. It is not easy to injection mold the large area thin substrate with sub-micron features on its surface due to the characteristics of the molding process and it becomes much more difficult when the aspect ratio of the features becomes high. We investigated the effect of the molding parameters for injection molding with high aspect ratio nano-scale features and injection molded some plastic DNA sequencing chips. We also fabricated PR masters and Ni stamps of the DNA chip to be used for molding

There are some critical drawbacks in the use of biomarkers for a global assessment of the toxicological impacts many chemicals and environmental pollutants have, primarily due to an individual biomarker's specificity for an explicit chemical or toxicant. In other words, the biomarker-based assessment methodology used to analyze toxicological effects lacks a high-throughput capability. Therefore, eco-toxicogenomics, or the study of toxicogenomics with organisms present within a given environmental locale, has recently been introduced with the advent of the so-called "-omics" era, which began with the creation of microarray technologies. Fish are comparable with humans in their toxicological responses and thus data from toxicogenomic studies performed with fish could be applied, with appropriate tools and implementation protocols, to the evaluation of environments where human or animal health is of concern. At present, there have been very active research streams for developing expression sequence tag (EST) databases (DBs) for zebra fish and rainbow trout. Even though few reports involve toxicogenomic studies with fish, a few groups have successfully fabricated and used cDNA microarrays or oligo DNA chips when studying the toxicological impacts of hypoxia or some toxicants with fish. Furthermore, it is strongly believed that this technology can also be implemented with non-model fish. With the standardization of DNA microarray technologies and ample progress in bioinformatics and proteomic technologies, data obtained from DNA microarray technologies offer not only multiple biomarker assays or an analysis of gene expression profiles, but also a means of elucidating gene networking, gene-gene relations, chemical-gene interactions, and chemical-chemical relationships. Accordingly, the ultimate target of eco-toxicogenomics should be to predict and map the pathways of stress propagation within an organism and to analyze stress networking.

본 연구에서는 감마선으로 유도된 돌연변이체들에서 공통으로 발현되는 방사선 관련 유전자들의 발현을 연구하기 위하여, B. lentimorbus WJ5 의 방사선 유도 돌연변이체에서 발현되는 유전자를 DNA microarray로 동시에 탐색하였다. DNA microarray는 B. lentimorbus WJ5 genome을 무작위로 절단하여 2,000 단편으로 구성하였으며, 감마선 $(^{60}/Co)$으로 유도된 7 돌연변이체의 발현을 정량적으로 관찰하였다. 클러스터 분석결과 발현된 408 유전자 중 27개가 감마선 유도 돌연변이체 모두에서 유의하게 발현이 증가되었다. 특히, 복구(mutL, mutM) 에너지 대사 (acsA, sdhB, pgk, yhjB, citB), protease (npr), 산화자극에 대한 환원 (HMM)관련 유전자들이 동시에 증가되었다. 이는 감마선 유도 돌연변이체들에서 자발적인 직/간접 복구 관련 유전자의 발현 증가는 방사선 노출 직후 보이는 stress response와는 다른 현상임을 나타내는 것으로 생각된다.

The increasing pace of development in molecular biology during the last decade has had a direct effect on mass testing and diagnostic applications, including blood screening. We report the model Microarray that has been developed for Hepatitis B virus (HBV) and Hepatitis D virus (HDV) detection. The specific primer pairs of PCR were designed using the Primer Premier 5.00 program according to the conserved regions of HBV and HDV. PCR fragments were purified and cloned into pMD18-T vectors. The recombinant plasmids were extracted from positive clones and the target gene fragments were sequenced. The DNA microarray was prepared by robotically spotting PCR products onto the surface of glass slides. Sequences were aligned, and the results obtained showed that the products of PCR amplification were the required specific gene fragments of HBV, and HDV. Samples were labeled by Restriction Display PCR (RD-PCR). Gene chip hybridizing signals showed that the specificity and sensitivity required for HBV and HDV detection were satisfied. Using PCR amplified products to construct gene chips for the simultaneous clinical diagnosis of HBV and HDV resulted in a quick, simple, and effective method. We conclude that the DNA microarray assay system might be useful as a diagnostic technique in the clinical laboratory. Further applications of RD-PCR for the sample labeling could speed up microarray multi-virus detection.
