DNA칩의 성능은 칩을 구성하는 probe에 의해 결정된다. 좋은 probe는 homogeneity, sensitivity, specificity와 같은 속성을 갖추어야 한다. 이중 specificity는 probe의 특정 유전자에 대한 선별적 결합 능력을 나타내는 것으로 이를 계산하는데 가장 많은 시간이 요구된다. 본 논문은 유전자의 개별 후보 probe들에 대한 선정 작업을 실행하기 전에 q-gram을 이용하여 비교가 필요한 유전자들만을 전체 유전자의 길이가 n인 경우 O(1/$4^an^2$)의 시간에 선별하는 전처리 알고리즘을 제안한다. 그리고 제안한 알고리즘을 사용함으로써 기존 방법들보다 빠른 probe 선정이 가능함을 실제 데이터를 사용하여 보인다.

Forty nine clinical isolates of S. aureus showing resistance to erythromycin(EM) were selected from 83 strains isolated recently in Korea. Fourteen strains of S. aureus showing inducible resistance to MLS antibiotics were selected by disc agar diffusion method. Colony hydridization was executed using two MLS inducible resistance genes, ermA and ermC, identified previously from S. aureus as probes. S. aureus 375 and S. aureus 507 whose genes were not homologous to those probes were finally selected. It was confirmed that the resistance genes of S. aureus 375 and S. aureus 507 had no homology with those probes in southern hybridization test using ermA, ermC and ermAM as probes. It was determined that S. aureus 375 had a plasmid whose size was about 35 kb. To know if the plasmid may have the genes related to inducible resistance to MLS antibiotics, it was attempted to transform Bacillus subtillis BR151 and S. aureus RN4220 with the plasmid isolated from S. aureus 375. It was shown that the gene related to inducible resistance to MLS antibiotics did not exist in this plasmid. These results indicate that two clinical isolates of S. aureus showing inducible resistance to MLS antibiotics have novel genes that have no homology with MLS resistance genes identified so far. It is assumed that these genes may exist in chromosomal DNA.

We report a sensitive and reliable FRET-based nanotechnology assay for efficient detection and quantification of bisulfite-unmodified or modified DNA. Bisulfite-untreated DNA or bisulfite-treated DNA is subjected to PCR amplification with biotin-conjugated primers so that the amounts of bisulfite-untreated and treated DNA can be differentiated. Streptavidin-coated quantum dots (QDs) are used to capture biotinylated PCR products intercalated with SYBR Green, enabling FRET measurement. Key features of our method include its low intrinsic background noise, high resolution, and high sensitivity, enabling detection of as little as 1.75 ng of bisulfite-untreated DNA in the presence of an approximately 1,000-fold excess of bisulfite-untreated DNA compared to bisulfate-treated DNA, with the use of PCR reduced (as low as 15 cycles). SYBR Green as an intercalating dye as well as a FRET acceptor allows for a single-step preparation without the need for primers or probes to be chemically conjugated to an organic fluorophore. Multiple acceptors per FRET donor significantly enhance the signal-to-noise ratio as well. In consideration of the high relevance of bisulfite treatment to DNA methylation quantitation, our system for FRET measurement between QDs and intercalating dyes can be generally utilized to analyze DNA methylation and to potentially benefit the scientific and clinical community.

우리나라에서 자생하는 송이버섯의 구분 방법으로 제조된 OPO-2 primer을 사용할 때 송이에게만 특이적인 band가 나타났다. 그리고 제한효소 처리와 dot blot의 결과에서 이들 특이적인 DNA절편은 송이 genomic DNA에서 한개의 copy만 존재하는 것으로 나타났으며, 다른 외생균근 버섯의 DNA에서는 발견되지 않았다. 또한, 이들 DNA 절편의 염기서열을 분석한 결과 770bps로 나타났다. 이러한 유전자의 정보를 이용한 NCBI Blast 염기서열 분석에서 높은 상동성을 갖는 유전자는 발견할 수가 없었고, 단백질서열 분석에서도 거의 동일하게 나타났다. 따라서 translation통한 아미노산 서얼분석에서 이들 DNA절편의 유전자는 단백질에 관한 유전자이라기 보다는 다른 정보와 관련된 유전자로 생각되어진다.

E coli strains isolated from pigs were investigated with respect to antimicrobial resistances and prevalence of R-plasmids. Also determined were properties of R-plasmids by plasmid conjugation, curing and southern hybridization using gene probes. All of 400 E coli strains were resistant to CL and SU, and 0.3% to 96.8% of the strains were resistant to most antimicrobials such as TC, PG, AM, SM, CP, GM, EM, NM, etc, while all strains were sensitive to AK. All strains were also multiply resistant to three to twelve antimicrobials. The resistances to PG, SM, TC, AM, CP, SU and ST were transferable and supposed to be mediated by R-plasmids which were opportunistic for transposition into chromosome. Plasmids bigger in size than chromosomal DNA were considered as R-plasmids and most plasmids in small size (<4Kb) proved as cryptic plasmids or nonconjugative R-plasmids. In a strain(No 99), AM resistant property was determined from both chromosomal DNA and R-plasmid DNA which is bigger in size than chromosome.

Rice black-streaked dwarf virus (RBSDV) and Maize rough dwarf virus (MRDV) are closely related viruses. Since the two viruses produce identical symptoms on maize, barley, and wheat, diagnosis of infected plants is difficult. Previously, we reported that partial cDNA clones of RBSDV S5 and S6 from the Japanese isolate (RBSDV-H) have lower sequence homology to MRDV than do cDNA clones from other genomic segments. In order to test whether cDNA clones of RBSDV-H S5 and S6 can be used for molecular diagnosis, RBSDV field isolates from Korea and from Hokkaido, Japan were tested in dot blot hybridizations probed with RBSDV-H S5 and S6 cDNA colnes. Hybridization with these probes was more intense against the RBSDV genome than against the MRDV genome. Therefore, RBSDV-H S5 and S6 cDNA clones can be used to differentiate between the two viruses. Furthermore, RBSDV-H S5 and S6 clones reacted more strongly against the viruses from stunted maize plants from Korean fields than to MRDV, indicating that RBSDV may be the causal disease agent in maize plants in Korea.

본 연구의 목적은 인간의 Poly(ADP-ribose) synthetase (PARS)의 cDNA를 클로닝하여 발현시키기 위해 수행하였다. 먼저, 인간의 PARS cDNA 전체를 포함한 pPARS3.1을 pGEM-7Zf(+) 등의 발현 벡터 클로닝하였다. 이 결과로 생성된 재조합 플라스미드 pPARS6.1이 인간의 PARS cDNA 전체를 포함하고, 올바른 방향으로 삽입되었는지를 확인하기 위해 제한효소 지도를 작성하였고, random primed DNA probe을 이용한 Southern blot 분석에 의해서 PARS가 클로닝되었다는 것을 확인하였다. 또한, 염기서열 분석 결과, 단백질 합성이 시작되는 유전 암호가 정확한 순서로 위치하고 있음을 확인하였다. 재조합된 pPARS6.1의 발현을 위해 배양시 0.4 mM IPTG로 처리하여 만들어진 인간의 PARS 단백질이 10% SDS-PAGE에서 120 kDa 위치에 이동하였다는 것을 nick-translated된 DNA를 probe로 이용하여 확인하였고, Southwestern blot 실험 결과 120 kDa과 98kDa에 위치하는 단백질이 DNA와 결합함을 알 수 있었다.

이질아메바 병원성 분리주에서 특이적으로 발현되는 mRNA를 동정하고자 differential display reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction(DDRT-PCR)을 수행하여 병원성 특이 증폭산물을 확인하였다. 한국인에서 검출한 이질아메바 병원성 분리주 YS-27과 Entamoeba dispar분리주인 S 16으로부터 정제한 mRAN를 주형으로 11개의 arbitrary primer와 3개의 one base anchored $oligo-dT_{11}M$(M: A, C 또는 G)의 조합을 이용, DDRT-PCR을 실시한 결과 31개의 분획이 YS-27주에서만 증폭된 것으로 확인되었다. 이 331개 DNA 중 21개는 cysteine proteinase 유전자와 상동성을 나타내었다. YS-27주로부터 제작된 cDNA library를 나머지 DNA를 탐침으로 사용, 검색하여 최종 4개의 clone을 얻었다. 이 4개의 clone을 이용, immunoscreening을 수행한 결과, 이 clone들은 이질아메바 감염자 혈청과 양성반응을 나타내고 있었다.

Wild relative species of domesticated crops are useful genetic resources for improving agronomic traits. Cytogenetic investigations based on chromosome composition provide insight into basic genetic and genomic characteristics of a species that can be exploited in a breeding program. Here, we used FISH analysis to characterize the ploidy level, chromosome constitution, and genomic distribution o f 5S and 4 5S r ibosomal DNA (rDNA) in four wild Cucurbitaceae species, namely, Citrullus lanatus (Thunb.) Mansf. var. citroides L. H. Bailey (2n = 22), Melothria japonica Maxim. (2n = 22), Sicyos angulatus L. (2n = 24), and Trichosanthes kirilowii Maxim. (2n = 66, 88, 110 cytotypes), collected in different areas of Korea. All species were diploids, except for T. kirilowii, which included hexa-, octa-, and decaploid cytotypes (2n = 6x = 66, 8x = 88, and 10x = 110). All species have small metaphase chromosomes in the range of $2-5{\mu}m$. The 45S rDNA signals were localized distally compared to the 5S rDNA. C. lanatus var. citroides and M. japonica showed one and two loci of 45S and 5S rDNA, respectively, with co-localization of rDNA signals in one M. japonica chromosome. S. angulatus showed two co-localized signals of 5S and 45S rDNA loci. The hexaploid T. kirilowii cytotype showed five signals each for 45S and 5S rDNA, with three being co-localized. This is the first report of hexaploid and decaploid cytotypes in T. kirilowii. These results will be useful in future Cucurbitaceae breeding programs.
