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.

Scolelepis (Parascolelepis) papillosa (Okuda, 1937), originally described from a single incomplete individual from Jeju Island in Korea, was collected from the intertidal sandflats of Soan Island (Jeollanam-do province) in Korea. The examined specimens of S. (P.) papillosa agree well with the original description in having the papillae on the basal sheath of the palps, presence of occipital antenna, absence of notochaetae in chaetiger 1, branchiae completely fused with notopodial postchaetal lamellae at the anterior chaetigers, and neuropodial hooded hooks appearing from chaetiger 16. In this study, the sequences of partial mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI), 16S ribosomal DNA (16S rDNA), and the nuclear 18S ribosomal DNA (18S rDNA) of the species were determined. We also provide the detailed description and illustrations on this species based on the complete specimens newly collected in this study.

The polychaete Scolelepis (Scolelepis) sagittaria was originally described from Japanese waters and subsequently reported from Korean waters. In this study, we determined for the first time the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI), 16S ribosomal DNA (16S rDNA), and nuclear 18S ribosomal DNA (18S rDNA) sequences of Korean specimens of S. (S.) sagittaria. We also assessed intraspecific variation in the shape of the prostomium of this species based on an examination of 247 individuals. All materials were collected from intertidal sandy beaches of the Korea Strait. The molecular data and morphological observations reported herein will contribute to gaining a better understanding of the taxonomic relationships among members of the genus Scolelepis.

In this paper, we investigated the performance of both DNA coding method and Genetic Algorithm(GA) in numeric pattern (from 0 to 9) recognition. The performance of the DNA coding method is compared to the that of the GA. 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 Adenine(A), Cytosine(C), Guanine(G) and Thymine(T). To compare the performance of both method, the same genetic operators(crossover and mutation) are applied and the probabilities of crossover and mutation are set the same values. The results show that the DNA coding method has better performance over GA. The reasons for this outstanding performance are multiple candidate solution presentation in one string and variable solution string length.

Cellular Automata Neural Systems(CANS) are neural networks based on biological development and evolution. Each neuron of CANS has local connection and acts as a form of pulse according to the dynamics of the chaotic neuron. CANS are generated from initial cells according to the CA rule. In the previous study, to obtain the useful ability of CANS, we make the pattern of initial cells evolve. However, it is impossible to represent all solution space, so we propose an evolving method of CA rule to overcome this defect in this paper. DNA coding has the redundancy and overlapping of gene and is apt for the representation of the rule. In this paper, we show the general expression of CA rule and propose translation method from DNA code to CA rule. The effectiveness of the proposed scheme was verified by applying it to the navigation problem of autonomous mobile robot.

Mitochondrial DNA restriction fragment length polymorphisms are convenient markers for identifying cytoplasmic variation among plants. We have collected 212 wild soybeans (Glycine soja Sieb. et Zucc) from all over Korea, and classified mitochondrial genome types based on hybridization patterns in DNA gel-blot analyses using two mitochondrial DNA clones, cox2 and atp6, as probes. Korean wild soybean was classified with eight-mtDNA types, and some of the mtDNAs showed geographical clines among the regions. The diversity index of the mtDNA was much higher in the western and southern regions than in the eastern and northern regions of Korea, respectively. Dissemination and distributive characteristics of wild soybeans in Korea were discussed.

We compared patterns of intraspecific polymorphism of two markers with contrasting modes of evolution, nuclear ribosomal DNA (rDNA) and mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA), in the lung fluke, diploid and triploid Paragonimus westermani from three geographical regions of Korea. The genetic distances between three populations of Korean diploid and triploid P. westermani showed no significant difference in the nucleotide sequences of the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 (mtCOI) and ribosomaal second internal transcribed spacer (ITS2) genes. A highly resolved strict-consensus tree was obtained that illustrated phylogenetically useful information of the ITS2 and mtCOI sequences from diploid and triploid P. westermani.

The venus clam, Ruditapes philippinarum, is an aquaculture shellfish mainly distributed in an intertidal zone of East Asia including Korea, China and Japan. The morphological variation of this species is great. In fact, two of the most popular markers used in molecular evolution, mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) and nuclear ribosomal DNA (rDNA), have quite different properties, which could translate into different consequences of mutation, drift, migration and selection on patterns of geographical variation and molecular divergence.

Nuclear mitochondrial DNA segment (Numt) insertion describes a well-known phenomenon of mitochondrial DNA transfer into a eukaryotic nuclear genome. However, it has not been well understood, especially in plants. Numt insertion patterns vary from species to species in different kingdoms. In this study, the patterns were surveyed in nine plant species, and we found some tip-offs. First, when the mitochondrial genome size is relatively large, the portion of the longer Numt is also larger than the short one. Second, the whole genome duplication event increases the ratio of the shorter Numt portion in the size distribution. Third, Numt insertions are enriched in exon regions. This analysis may be helpful for understanding plant evolution.

A spionid polychaete, Boccardiella hamata (Webster, 1879) has been found from mud in crevices between the shells of oysters and adherent substrates in South Korea. The sequences of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 (CO1), 16S ribosomal DNA (16S), and the nuclear 18S ribosomal DNA (18S) from Korean individuals of Boccardiella hamata were determined in the present study. The molecular analysis based on the 18S rRNA gene sequences showed clear separation among the spionid polychaete species, and the sequences of Korean and Japanese individuals are completely identical. The morphological diagnosis and photographs of B. hamata are also provided.
