Random amplified Polymorphic DNA (RAPD) analysis Is based on the amplification of random DNA segment using a single arbitrary primer. Polymorphic DNA patterns identified by this method can be used for typing Listeria monocytogenes. To select the primers for RAPD typing Listeria spp., the performance of 31 primers were compared by analyzing 13 Listeria spp. reference strains. Reproducible electrophoresis patterns were obtained. Among 31 primers, 6 primers (primer 6, HLWL74, UBC155, UBC127, Lis5, Lis11) showed better differentiation, when discrimination index, band clarity, band number, difficulty of band scoring were considered than the others. These primers will be useful far typing Listeria spp. in the future. Currently, we are under investigation for the RAPD typing of contaminated L. monocytogenes for the risk analysis of pork processing plant using these primers.

This study was performed to select marker which can identify genetic variation between mother plant and in vitro cultured plantlets of strawberry by PCR using random primer. When 'Yeobong' DNA extracted was treated with proteinase-K and RNase-H, clear DNA bands were shown. The optimal condition for RAPD in strawberry was to use 50ng of template DNA, 10pmol of primer,37oC of annealing temperature, and 45 cycles of PCR. After establishing above PCR optimal condition, RAPD pattern was investigated by using UBC primers. PCR was performed, and 46 of 90 primers produced PCR product showing 158 total bands. GC content was compared between the primers forming bands and no bands. The GC content showing bands was average 67.4%, whereas primers showing no bands 58%.

This study was carried out to develop the breed-specific DNA markers for breed identification of Korean native goat meat using amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP)-PCR techniques. The genomic DNAs of Korean native goat, imported black goat and four dairy goat breeds(Saanen, Alpine, Nubian and Toggenburg) were extracted from muscle tissues or blood. Genomic DNA was digested with a particular combination of two restriction enzymes with 4 base(Mse I and Taq I) and 6 base(EcoR I and Hind III) recognition sites, ligated to restriction specific adapters and amplified using the selective primer combinations. In AFLP profiles of polyacrylamide gels, the number of scorable bands produced per primer combination varied from 36 to 74, with an average of 55.5. A total of 555 bands were produced, 149(26.8%) bands of which were polymorphic. Among the ten primer combinations, two bands with 2.01 and 1.26 kb in M13/H13 primer and one band with 1.65 kb in E35/H14 primer were found to be breed-specific AFLP markers in Korean native goat when DNA bands were compared among the goat breeds. In the E35/H14 primer combination, 2.19, 2.03, 0.96 and 0.87 kb bands detected in imported black goat, 2.13 kb band in Saanen breed and 2.08 kb band in Nubian breed were observed as breed-specific bands showing differences between goat breeds, respectively. The E35/H14 primer combination produced four DNA bands distinguished between Korean native goat and Saanen breed. The is study suggested that the breed specific AFLP bands could be used as DNA markers for the identification of Korean native goat meat from imported black goat and dairy goat meats.

Nuclear DNA was isolated from the sperm cells representing genetic characteristics and genomic polymorphisms of rainbow trout by polymerase chain reaction(PCR) amplification of DNA using arbitrary primers. Genomic DNA fingerprints were generated from rainbow trout sperm DNA by polymerase chain reaction amplification using 20 arbitrary decamers as primers. Out of these primers, 4 generated 17 highly reproducible RAPD markers, producing almost six polymorphic bands per primers. Four of 6 primers tested generated amplified fragments which were polymorphic between different individuals. Polymorphic DNA fragments were reproducibly amplified from independent DNA preparations made from individuals. Rainbow trout was distinctly observed 3 specific DNA markers (2. 3, 2.0 and 1.3kb) in bandsharing. Individual fragments generated using the same arbitrary primer, demonstrated that a single primer detected at least three independent genomic polymorphisms in rainbow trout sperm DNA. The RAPD polymorphism generated by this primer may be used as a genetic marker for individual identification The RAPD-PCR technique has been shown to reveal informative polymorphism in many species of fish. The present results demonstrate that RAPD markers are abundant, reproducible and provide a basis for future gene mapping and MAS in these important aquaculture species using RAPD polymorphic markers. It is concluded that RAPD polymorphisms are useful as genetic markers for fish breed differentiation.

In this study, we used the method of guanidin isothiocyanate and boiling with Chelex-100 resin to extract genomic DNA of Ralstonia solanacearum from soil. It is more efficient than general protocols to remove inhibitory compounds in soil and R. solanacearum on. Then, we applied polymerase chain reaction and DNA enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) to identify and detect pathogen. The fliC gene of R. solanacearum was selected for specific detection of pathogen and primer sets were designed. Among the primer sets, two specific and sensitive primer sets, RsolfliC(forward: 5-GAACGCCAACGGTGCGAACT-3 and reverse; 5-GGCGGCCTTCAGGGAGGTC-3, designed by J. $Sch\ddot{o}nfeld$ et al.) and RS_247 (forward: 5-GGCGGTCTGTCGGCRG-3 and reverse; 5-CGGTCGCGTTGGCAAC-3 designed by this study), were designed to perform nested PCR. Nested PCR primer was labeled with biotin for hybridization between nested PCR product and probe to analyze with DNA ELISA.

3.3kb 웅성특이 DNA(pEM39 plasmid DNA)가 성 특이 DNA 검색자로 활용되어질 수 있는가를 확인하기 위하여 구조적인 분석을 Southern blotting, DNA sequencing과 computer program 분석을 통하여 실시하였다. 전체 3.3kb에서 유래된 약 1kb 단위의 단편을 이용하여 표지된 짧은 DNA probe들은 Southern blot 분석에서 웅성특이성을 나타내었다. McGraw와 Jeon의 sequence에 대한 유사성 비교 자료로부터 여러 부분의 conserved region을 찾아내고 이것을 기초로 하여 5개의 primer set들을 선발하였다. Conserved region에 존재하면서 computer program에 의해서 선발되어진 PMS1과 2의 primer set가 최종적으로 PCR 분석을 위하여 선정되었다. 이 primer set를 사용한 PCR 분석에서, 1ng부터 10pg까지의 웅성 genomic DNA에서 PCR 산물을 얻을 수 있었으며, 자성의 경우는 어떠한 산물도 찾을 수 없었다. PCR에 이용할 수정란의 시료는 2 세포기의 수정란에서 얻었으며 순수 분리된 genomic DNA에서 확립된 조건에서 PCR을 수행하였다. 8개의 수정란을 분석한 결과 4개의 웅성과 4개의 자성 수정란을 확인하였다. 이러한 결과는 선정된 primer set가 돼지 수정란의 성을 조기 감별하는데 효율적인 DNA probe로 사용될 수 있다는 것을 암시한다.

In this study, to discuss on the applicability of eDNA as a new method to investigate fish diversity at streams, we applied eDNA at 4 streams (Geum River, Ji Stream, Hwangji Stream, Seomjin River), where endangered species are inhabits, with conventional survey (cast net and kick net). The average (±standard deviation) number of species investigated by eDNA were 19 species (±4.4), and it was relatively higher than average of conventional survey, 10 species (±4.8). Most of case, in this study, eDNA was more efficient than conventional survey. However, there were errors on species identification of Korean endemic species and aliied species from eDNA, and it seems the universal primer (MiFish primer set) is not suitable for them. Furthermore, some of endangered species, caught by conventional method, was not detected by eDNA. As the present universal primer is not suitable for identify the every freshwater fish species in Korea, the complementing or development of universal primer is needed, and the eDNA application after species specific marker development for detecting specific species like endangered species should be considered. In conclusion, if the manual for field survey method by eDNA is developed, we expect applicability enlargement for water ecosystem survey.

This study was performed 1) to establish the optimal PCR condition of sex determination in Hanwoo IVM/IVF embryos, 2) to examine the sex determination and sex ratio to the developmental stages of Hanwoo IVM/IVF embryos by two-step PCR method. The sexing of bovine IVF embryos were accurately determined by PCR methods using Y chromosome specific DNA primer(BOV 97M, 141bp) and bovine specific DNA primer(216bp). The fregment size were shown at 141 and 216 base pairs(bp) in male, and 216 bp in female. Two-steps PCR method in which the samples were amplified by 15 cycles with Y chromosome specific DNA primer and then amplified by additional 30 cycles with bovine specific DNA primer was effective in the sexing of bovine IVF embryos. The zona-free embryos were more effective than zona-intact embryos in bovine IVF embryo sexing. The appearance of Y chromosome specific band was 45.2% in embryos treated with protease K and 53.3% in embryos treated with freezing and thawing repeatedly. The optimun volume of DNA for sexing of Hanwoo IVF embryos were 2 to 10 $\mu$1 in Zona-free embryos and 12 to 13 $\mu$1 in zona-intact embryos. The sexing rate of bovine IVF embryos by PCR was 96.0% and questionable rate not identified sex was 4.0%, respectively. Among the sexed embryos, the percentage of male and female was 49.7% and 46.3%, respectively, the sex ratio was 1: 1.1. The successful rate of embryo sexing was increased to the developmental stages.

With universal primer ITS1-F, the specific DHJ2 primer was developed to detect the Ectomycorrhizal(ECM) root tips in soil and to identify the species of ECM fungi, as based on DNA sequences of rDNA stored in GeneBank of NCBI. This primer was designed with the common sites of rDNA of Amanita and Boletus, and was also designed with several DNA programs provided by NCBI. The DNA fragments synthesized by PCR were calculated to be 1,000 to 1,200 bps of DNA located to 18s to 28s rDNA to contain two variable sites of ITS, indicating much diversities for specific species or ecotypes of ECM fungi. The primer DHJ2 reacted with the genomic DNA's extracted from the tissues of basidiocarp at the rate of 73 of 80 fungi collected produced single bands with a 1,100 bps length. The DNA fragment synthesized with the genomic DNA that extracted from eight ECM tips of Pinus densiflora was confirmed and analysized to the rDNAs of ECM in full sequences, and informed to be a ECM fungal species in the forest.

Random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) analysis is based on the amplification of random DNA segment using a single arbitratrary primer. For typing Salmonella spp., polymorphic DNA patterns identified by this method can be used. To select the primers for RAPD typing Salmonella spp., the performances of 20 primers were compared by analyzing 16 Salmonella spp. reference strains. Reproducible electrophoresis patterns were obtained. Among the 20 primers tested, 4 primers (A, OPG04, OPG10, OPL03) showed better differentiation than the others. At the time discrimination index, band clarity, band number and difficulty of band scoring were considered. These primers will be useful for typing Salmonella spp. in the future. Curretly, we are under investigation for the RAPD typing of contaminated Slmonella spp. for the risk analysis of pork processing plant using the primers.
