DNA origami is the most fitting nano-technology for synthesis of complex nano-structures. DNA crossover which ties DNA helices together are the main reason for the stable sustenance of origami structures with respect to other nano-scale structures. The mechanical properties of DNA crossovers have profound connection with structural rigidity, and it is a known fact that the rigidity changes depending on the arrangement of crossovers. It is possible to control the rigidity of origami structures for functionality and furthermore extends the field of DNA origami application. Here, we investigate the effect of crossovers on 2-Dimensional DNA structures varying crossover arrangement by sensitivity analysis based on finite element model. The crossover properties obtained from this analysis are compared with the existing experimental results.

유전자 재조합체는 상동염색체간의 예정된 DNA 가닥 전이와 교환이 이루어지는 상동염색체 재조합 과정에 의하여 생성된다. 이 재조합 경로는 DNA 이중 가닥 절단(double-strand breaks, DSBs)에 의해서 개시되며, 전이 과정의 중간단계에서 DNA의 구조적 변이 중간체인 단일 가닥 침투(single-end invasions, SEIs)와 이중 홀리데이 접합(double-Holliday junctions, dHJs)이 형성되어 교차성(crossover, CO) 혹은 비교차성(non-crossover, NCO) 결과물이 만들어진다. 본 연구는 이중 가닥 절단, 단일 가닥 침투, 이중 홀리데이 접합과 같은 재조합 중간체와 재조합 결과물의 구조분석에 초점을 두고, 이를 출아효모에서 인위적으로 이중 가닥 절단을 발생시킬 수 있는 HIS4LEU2 "hot spot" 을 이용한 물리적 분석방법으로 감수분열 재조합 중간체를 규명하였다. 물리적 분석을 위하여 동조화 된 세포에 감수분열을 유도한 후 hot spot 자리를 인식하는 제한효소를 처리하면, 재조합 중간체를 형성하고 있는 DNA 단편들을 Southern 분석법을 통해 탐지 및 정량 할 수 있다. 본 연구는 이 시스템으로 감수분열에서 이중가닥 절단으로부터 기인하는 단일 가닥 침투, 이중 홀리데이 접합 그리고 교차성/비교차성 재조합체로 전이되는 DNA의 구조 다형을 분석할 수 있음을 제시한다.

본 논문은 DNA coding 방법과 Genetic Algorithm(GA)을 사용하여 numeric(0~9) 패턴인식 성능을 비교 평가하였다. 이진스트링의 개체 집단 위에서 모의진화를 일으켜 효율적으로 최적 해를 탐색하는 GA와, 생체 분자인 DNA를 계산의 도구 및 정보 저장도구로 사용하며, Adenine(A), Cytosine(C), Guanine(G), Thymine(T)등의 4가지 염기를 사용하는 DNA coding 방법을 이용하여 numeric 패턴인식을 수행하였다. DNA coding 방법과 GA의 성능을 비교 평가하기 위해서 selection, crossover, mutation 등의 GA연산자를 DNA coding에 동일하게 적용하였다. 실험결과, DNA coding 방법은 GA보다 효과적으로 패턴인식을 수행하였다. GA에 비해 DNA coding 방법의 장점은 스트링의 길이가 가변적이고 해의 중복성을 가지며, 4가지 염기를 이용하기 때문에 해 표현이 다양함을 가지고 있다.

In this paper, we investigated the pattern recognition performance of the numeric patterns (from 0 to 9) using DNA coding method. The pattern recognition performance of the DNA coding method is compared to the that of the GA(Genetic Algorithm). GA searches effectively an optimal solution via the artificial evolution of individual group of binary string using binary coding, while DNA coding method uses four-type bases denoted by A(Adenine), C(Cytosine), G(Guanine) and T(Thymine), The pattern recognition performance of GA and DNA coding method is evaluated by using the same genetic operators(crossover and mutation) and the crossover probability and mutation probability are set the same value to the both methods. The DNA coding method has better characteristics over genetic algorithms (GA). The reasons for this outstanding performance is multiple possible solution presentation in one string and variable solution string length.

In genetic algorithms(GA), a crossover is performed only at one or two places of a chromosome, and the fixed probabilities of crossover and mutation have been used during the entire generation. A GA with dynamic mutation is known to be superior to GAs with static mutation in performance, but so far no efficient dynamic mutation method has been presented. Accordingly in this paper, a GA is proposed to perform a uniform crossover based on the nucleotide(NU) concept, where DNA and RNA consist of NUs and also a concrete way to vary the probabilities of crossover and mutation dynamically for every generation is proposed. The efficacy of the proposed GA is demonstrated by its application to the unimodal, multimodal and nonlinear control problems, respectively. Simulation results show that in the convergence speed to the optimal value, the proposed GA was superior to existing ones, and the performance of GAs with varying probabilities of the crossover and the mutation improved as compared to GAs with fixed probabilities of the crossover and mutation. And it also shows that the NUs function as the building blocks and so the improvement of the proposed algorithm is supported by the building block hypothesis.

DNA computing 은 Adleman 실험 이후에 많은 여러 가지 최적화 문제에 적용되어 왔다. DNA computing의 장점은 스트링의 길이가 가변적이고 4가지 염기를 이용하기 때문에 복잡한 문제에 전역 최적점을 찾는데 기존의 다른 방법보다는 효율적이라는것이다. 본 논문에서는 이진 스트링의 개체 지단 위에서 모의진화를 일으켜 효율적으로 최적 해를 탐색하는 GA(Genetic Algorithms)와 생체 분자와 DNA를 계산의 도구 및 정보 저장도구로 사용하여 A(Adenine). C(Cytosine), G(Guanine), T(Thymine)등의 4가지 염기를 사용하는 DNA 코딩방법을 이용하여multi-modal 함수의 전역 최적점을 탐색하는 문제에서의 각각의 성능을 조사하였다. Selection, crossover, mutation등의 GA연산자를 DNA를 코딩에 동일하게 적용하였으며 최적의 해를 탐색하는데 걸리는 시간과 찾아낸 최적해의 값을 평가한다.을 평가한다.

DNA computing has been applied to the problem of getting an optimal solution since Adleman's experiment. DNA computing uses strings with various length and four-type bases that makes more useful for finding a global optimal solutions of the complex multi-modal problems. This paper presents DNA coding method for finding optimal solution of the multi-modal function and compares the efficiency of this method with the genetic algorithms (GA). GA searches effectively an optimal solution via the artificial evolution of individual group of binary string and DNA coding method uses a tool of calculation or Information store with DNA molecules and four-type bases denoted by the symbols of A(Ademine), C(Cytosine), G(Guanine) and T(Thymine). The same operators, selection, crossover, mutation, are applied to the both DNA coding algorithm and genetic algorithms. The results show that the DNA based algorithm performs better than GA.

The consumption of fruits and vegetables that have high polyphenol content has been previously associated with a reduced risk for cardiovascular disease. We investigated the effects of onion peel extract on plasma total antioxidant capacity, lipid peroxidation, and leukocyte DNA damage. This study was a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover trial. Healthy female subjects received either onion peel extract or placebo (dextrin) for two weeks, underwent a 1-week washout period, and then received the other treatment for an additional two weeks. After two weeks of onion peel extract supplementation, the total cholesterol level, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol level, and atherogenic index significantly decreased (P < 0.05). No changes were observed in activities of erythrocyte antioxidant enzymes or levels of lipid peroxidation markers following onion peel extract supplementation. Additionally, no significant difference was found in plasma antioxidant vitamin (retinol, tocopherols, carotenoids, and coenzyme Q10) levels or ex vivo $H_2O_2$-provoked oxidative DNA damage after onion peel extract supplementation. The present interventional study provides evidence of the health benefits of onion peel extract and demonstrates its effects in modulating lipid profiles in healthy young Korean women.

In this paper, we demonstrate the feasibility of constructing DNA nanostructures (i.e. DNA rings and double-crossover (DX) DNA lattices) with appropriate doxorubicin hydrochloride (DOX) concentration and reveal significant characteristics for specific applications, especially in the fields of biophysics, biochemistry and medicine. DOX-intercalated DNA rings and DX DNA lattices are fabricated on a given substrate using the substrateassisted growth method. For both DNA rings and DX DNA lattices, phase transitions from crystalline to amorphous, observed using atomic force microscopy (AFM) occurred above a certain concentration of DOX (at a critical concentration of DOX, $30{\mu}M$ of $[DOX]_C$) at a fixed DNA concentration. Additionally, the coverage percentage of DNA nanostructures on a given substrate is discussed in order to understand the crystal growth mechanism during the course of annealing. Lastly, we address the significance of optical absorption and photoluminescence characteristics for determining the appropriate DOX binding to DNA molecules and the energy transfer between DOX and DNA, respectively. Both measurements provide evidence of DOX doping and $[DOX]_C$ in DNA nanostructures.

During meiosis I, programmed DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) occur to promote chromosome pairing and recombination between homologs. In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Mec1 and Tel1, the orthologs of human ATR and ATM, respectively, regulate events upstream of the cell cycle checkpoint to initiate DNA repair. Tel1^ATM and Mec1^ATR are required for phosphorylating various meiotic proteins during recombination. This study aimed to investigate the role of Tel1^ATM and Mec1^ATR in meiotic prophase via physical analysis of recombination. Tel1^ATM cooperated with Mec1^ATR to mediate DSB-to-single end invasion transition, but negatively regulated DSB formation. Furthermore, Mec1^ATR was required for the formation of interhomolog joint molecules from early prophase, thus establishing a recombination partner choice. Moreover, Mec1^ATR specifically promoted crossover-fated DSB repair. Together, these results suggest that Tel1^ATM and Mec1^ATR function redundantly or independently in all post-DSB stages.
