Recently, DNA fingerprinting has been utilized as the most powerful tool for genetic analysis and improvement of poultry. This technique enables us to solve several problems of poultry breeding ; traits of low heritability, difficulty in keeping the performance records, measuring in late of life, and sex limited traits. Application of DNA fingerprinting is chiefly focused to individual and population identification, evolution force, quantitative trait marker, introgression of new gene, and prediction of heterosis. Thus, research work on DNA fingerprinting will he accelerated to analyze genetic components exactly and improve the performance of poultry.

Escherichia coli protein Rho is required for the factor-dependent transcription termination by an RNA polymerase and is essential for the viability of the cell. It is a homohexameric protein that recognizes and binds preferably to C-rich sites in the transcribed RNA. Once bound to RNA, it utilizes RNA-dependent ATPase activity and subsequently ATPase-dependent helicase activity to unwind RNA-DNA hybrids and release RNA from a transcribing elongation complex. Studies over the past few decades have highlighted Rho as a molecule and have revealed much of its mechanistic properties. The recently solved crystal structure could explain many of its physiological functions in terms of its structure. Despite all these efforts, many of the fundamental questions pertaining to Rho recognition sites, differential ATPase activity in response to different RNAs, translocation of Rho along the nascent transcript, interactions with elongation complex and finally unwinding and release of RNA remain obscure. In the present review we have attempted to summarize 'the knowns' and 'the unknowns' of the Rho protein revealed by the recent developments in this field. An attempt has also been made to understand the physiology of Rho in the light of its phylogeny.

5 serotypes(a, b, c, d, e) of Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans showed distinct hybridization patterns(DNA fingerprinting patterns) when the bacterial DNA were hybridized with randomly cloned 4.7-Kb sized DNA probe. The sizes of hybridized bands in each serotypes were different among serotypes and represented unique patterns of hybridization with the probe used. The serotype a showed two bands of fingerprinting patterns: 23.1 kb and 2.5 kb respectively. Serotype b and c showed single band: 6.6 kb and 9.5 kb, respectively. Serotype d and e showed two bands of hybridization: 23.1 kb and 2.8 kb, and 23.7 kb and 2.1 kb, respectively. The results indicate that this standard fingerpriting patterns of DNA hybridization with 4.7 kb probe can be further used for genotyping clinical isolates of Actinobacillus 8ctinomycetemcomitansand its relevance with periodontal disease activity.

The studies were based on the RAPD fingerprinting for the species identification of animals. The genomic DNA samples of ostriches, Taiwan local chickens, Aboracres broilers, Leghorn chickens, quails, doves, emus, Beltville small white turkeys, pheasants, Chinese geese, mule ducks, Holstein cattle and Landrace pigs were amplified with random primers by RAPD-PCR for fingerprinting. The results showed that the varied band patterns of DNA fingerprints were generated from templates depending on the kinds of primers or animal species. The same primer applied to the same breed, all of the main bands are similar, but which were different among species. In order to try to identify the species from the mixture of meat by RAPD fingerprinting, the meat of ostrich and cattle was mixed in different ratios for this study. The results showed that it could be easily and precisely distinguished according to the band distribution of RAPD patterns.

In order to rapidly identify and differentiate Salmonella typhimurium from the intestinal gram-negative bacteria, randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) fingerprinting of Salmonella typhimurium was carried out using random primers designated OPA-13 (5'-CAGCACCCAC-3'), OPB-10 (5'-CGTCTGGGAC-3'), OPB-18 (5'-CCACAGCAGT-3'), and OPJ-10 (5'-AAGCCCGAGG-3'), and its patterns compared with 6 representive intestinal, gram-negative bacterial strains, Vibrio parahaemolyticus, V. vulnificus, Enterobacter cloacae, Escherichia coli O157:H7, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Proteus sp., which are often found in foods. S. typhimurium had unique and distinct fingerprinting patterns. RAPD fingerprinting is thus concluded to be a rapid and sensitive method for the identification of S. typhimurium compared to conventional culturing procedures or immunoassays.

Buffer soluble protein and five isozymes were analyzed to assess the inter specific relationship among 25 species of the genus Mammillaria Haw. A total of 102 types of proteins were resolved, out of which eighty-six types were found to be polymorphic and only two were unique. A total of 248 bands (isoforms) were detected for 5 isozymes, among them only 4 were found to be monomorphic and 35 were exclusive. Mantel 'Z' statistics revealed wide variations in the correlation among different enzymes. The correlation value 'r' was the highest in case of esterase with pooled data of all the five enzymes. The dendrogram constructed on the basis of pooled data (protein and allozyme) divided the species into two major clusters containing 14 and 11 members respectively. The species M. matudae and M. bella were found to be the most closely related while M. decipience and M. camptroticha were distantly apart. The present study gave an indication of usefulness of the isozyme and protein markers for genetic discrimination between different species of Mammillaria.

리스테리아를 보다 효과적으로 typing할 수 있는 방법을 찾기 위해 표준균주 13종을 대상으로 하여 RAPD, ERIC (Enterobacterial repetitive intergenic consensus) fingerprinting, ribotyping-PCR의 분리력을 비교해 보았다. DG107 (primer 6) 또는 DG122 (Lis 11) primer를 이용한 RAPD의 경우 11가지의 유형으로 분류되는 반면, ERIC fingerprinting은 9가지, ribotyping-PCR은 7가지씩의 유형을 보였다. 그러나 2가지 primer를 이용하여 각각 행한 RAPD 결과를 종합하거나, DG122를 이용한 RAPD와 ribotyping-PCR의 결과를 종합할 경우 13가지의 유형으로 모두 분리할 수 있었다.

본 연구에서는 높은 분리능을 가지고 있을 뿐만 아니라 실험의 재현성과 경제성의 측면에서도 많은 장점을 갖고 있는 ERIC DNA sequence를 응용한 ERIC-PCR을 이용하여 Salmonella, E. coli, Shigella, Vibrio 등 4속의 주요 그람 음성 식중독유발 세균들의 분리 동정 방법을 확립하고자 하였다. ERIC-PCR 결과, E. coli의 경우 0.3kb, 0.42kb 및 1.2kb의 band가 모든 균주에서 공통적으로 확인되었고, Salmonella속으로부터는 0.22kb, 0.4kb 및 0.7kb의 band가 증폭되었다. Shigella속은 모든 표준균주와 분리균주로부터 0.33kb와 1.25kb의 band가 증폭되었으며, S. sonnei의 경우 위의 주요 2개 band 이외에도 대부분의 균주에서 0.44kb, 2.0kb 및 3.05kb의 band가 증폭되어 다른 종의 Shigella와 구별되는 fingerprinting pattern을 나타내었다. 그리고 V. parahaemolyticus의 경우 표준균주와 분리균주 모두 0.51kb와 1.5kb의 band가 증폭되어 V. cholerae, V. mimicus 등과 같은 다른 종의 Vibrio와 구별되는 fingerprinting pattern을 나타내었다. 이와 같이 4속의 모든 식중독 균주마다 ERIC-PCR후 생성되는 fingerprinting pattern에서 3-5개의 공통적인 band가 증폭되는 것이 확인되어 이를 이용한 속 수준의 분리 동정과 이러한 주요 band들 이외의 부수적인 band들을 고려하여 종 수준까지의 분리도 가능함을 확인하였다. 따라서 본 연구의 결과는 ERIC 반복적 DNA 염기서열을 이용한 ERIC-PCR이 식중독균의 분리 동정 방법으로 사용될 수 있음을 확인하였으며, 나아가 더 많은 속(genus)의 식중독세균을 대상으로 한 새로운 분리 동정 방법을 확립하는데도 응용이 될 수 있을 것이다.

To investigate dose-effect of a chemical mutagen, sodium azide on a rice elite line, Suweon472, seed aliquots were treated with five different concentrations of sodium azide. The degree of mutation levels of each aizde concentration were estimated by using DNA fingerprinting techniques such as RAPD and AFLP. Some selected mutant lines ($M_4$) were also subjected for DNA fingerprinting to estimate their mutation levels by comparing the banding patterns of the wild type, Suweon 472. RAPD and AFLP fingerprinting patterns indicated that dose-effect of different azide concentrations was not clear. With allele description of detected AFLPs among favorable mutant lines, it was possible to discriminate each mutant line from others which have similar phenotypes and reactions against pathogens. AFLP fingerprinting patterns of waxy mutant lines, otherwise, were highly homogeneous as well as their phenotypic and agronomic characters.

In order to identify and develop the specific DNA marker for the identification of Hanwoo (Korean Cattle) from other breeds, a specific DNA marker of 519 bp was identified and sequenced from polymorphic analysis using RAPD-PCR for 6 cattle breeds. Two different repetitive sequences, $(AAC)_5$ and $(GAAGA)_2$, were selected and designed to use specific probe to develop a DNA marker for Hanwoo specific. When the $(AAC)_5$ probe was applied, the 10 kb specific DNA marker showed in the DNA fingerprinting from 237 of 281 Hanwoo individuals. This novel Hanwoo specific DNA probe is useful to perform the marker-assisted selection for screening Hanwoo purity as an unique genetic source.
