The composition of the bacterial populations in Gorosoe(Acer mono Max.) sap was characterized during storage with different heat treatments($63^{\circ}C$ for 30 min and $73^{\circ}C$ for 15 sec). The saps were aseptically collected at 0, 15 and 30 days of storage and analyzed by dilution plating and 16S rDNA PCR-DGGE analysis. There were significant differences in the total number of colony forming units(CFUs) of bacteria between heated and nonheated saps. Bacteria of nonheated sap were present at a level of $3.4{\times}10^7CFU/m{\ell}^{-1}$, whereas living bacteria were not detected in the heated sap. According to the 16S rDNA sequence and DGGE analysis, Pseudomonas sp. was the most abundant bacterial strain in the samlpes, and the bacterial community structures become more simplified with time and were composed of the Chryseobacterium sp. with time. These results allowed us to characterize the dominant bacteria involved in Gorosoe sap and to better understand their dynamics throughout storage.

Free-living amoebas (FLAs) can cause severe disease in humans and animals when they become infected. However, there are no accurate survey reports on the prevalence of FLAs in Korea. In this study, we collected 163 tap water samples from buildings, apartments, and restrooms of highway service areas in 7 Korean provinces with high population density. All these buildings and facilities have water storage tanks in common. The survey was separated into categories of buildings, apartments, and highway service areas. Five hundred milliliters of tap water from each building was collected and filtered with 0.2 ㎛ pore filter paper. The filters were incubated in agar plates with heated E. coli at 25℃. After axenization, genomic DNA was collected from each FLA, and species classification was performed using partial 18S-rDNA PCR-sequencing analysis. We found that 12.9% of tap water from buildings with storage tanks in Korea was contaminated with FLAs. The highway service areas had the highest contamination rate at 33.3%. All of the FLAs, except one, were genetically similar to Vermamoeba vermiformis (Hartmannella vermiformis). The remaining FLA (KFA21) was very similar to Acanthamoeba lugdunensis (KA/E26). Although cases of human infection by V. vermiformis are very rare, we must pay attention to the fact that one-third of tap water supplies in highway service areas have been contaminated.

Previous studies have shown that one of the primary causes of increased iron content in the brain may be the release of excess iron from intracellular iron storage molecules such as ferritin. Free iron generates ROS that cause oxidative cell damage. Carnosine and related compounds such as endogenous histidine dipetides have antioxidant activities. We have investigated the protective effects of carnosine and homocarnosine against oxidative damage of DNA induced by reaction of ferritin with $H_2O_2$. The results show that carnosine and homocarnosine prevented ferritin/$H_2O_2$-mediated DNA strand breakage. These compounds effectively inhibited ferritin/$H_2O_2$-mediated hydroxyl radical generation and decreased the mutagenicity of DNA induced by the ferritin/$H_2O_2$ reaction. Our results suggest that carnosine and related compounds might have antioxidant effects on DNA under pathophysiological conditions leading to degenerative damage such as neurodegenerative disorders.

Reversible DNA watermarking is capable of continuous DNA storage and forgery prevention, and has the advantage of being able to analyze biological mutation processes by external watermarking by iterative process of concealment and restoration. In this paper, we propose a reversible DNA watermarking method based on histogram multiple shifting of noncoding DNA sequence that can prevent false start codon, maintain original sequence length, maintain high watermark capacity without biologic mutation. The proposed method transforms the non-coding region DNA sequence to the n-th code coefficients and embeds the multiple bits of the n-th code coefficients by the non-recursive histogram multiple shifting method. The multi-bit embedding process prevents the false start codon generation through comparison search between adjacent concealed nucleotide sequences. From the experimental results, it was confirmed that the proposed method has higher watermark capacity of 0.004-0.382 bpn than the conventional method and has higher watermark capacity than the additional data. Also, it was confirmed that false start codon was not generated unlike the conventional method.

서픽스 트리는 데이터의 내부구조를 자세히 나타내고 선형시간 탐색이 가능한 효과적인 자료구조로서 DNA 서열분석 등에 유용하다. 그러나 서열을 서픽스 트리로 구축하는 경우 트리의 크기가 원본의 최소 30배 이상으로 커지므로 테라바이트(TB)급의 대용량 DNA 서열의 경우에 메모리상의 응용은 매우 어려운 문제점이 있다. 이에 본 논문에서는 디스크를 이용한 대용량 DNA의 서픽스 트리 응용기법을 제시한다. 이때 DNA 서열구조를 고려한 서픽스 트리 선형 탐색 특성 유지를 보장한다. 이를 검증하기 위하여 9G Byte의 유전자 단편 서열을 이용해 424G Byte의 서픽스 트리를 디스크에 구축한 다음, 임의의 질의 서열에 대해 KMP알고리즘과 비교한 결과 질의 응답시간에서 우수한 성능을 보였다.

We report for the first time the cDNA sequence encoding a ferritin subunit from the spiders Araneus ventricosus. The complete cDNA sequence of A. ventricosus ferritin subunit comprised 516 bp with 172 amino acid residues. The A. ventricosus ferritin subunit cDNA contained a conserved iron responsive element sequence in the 5 untranslated region. An alignment of the deduced protein sequence of the A. ventricosus ferritin subunit gene to that of other heavy chain ferritin molecules showed that A. ventricosus ferritin subunit is most similar to the great pond snail, Lymnaea stagnalis, ferritin with 70.2% of protein sequence identity.

곤충의 다양한 기능해석을 유전자 수준에서 수행하기 위하여 주요 익충인 누에를 대상으로 유전 자원 확보를 시도하였다. 우선 5령의 누에유충에서 cDNA 유전자 은행을 제작하여 1.3 X 106개의 cDNA 유전자원을 확보하였다. 누에유충의 cDNA 유전자 은행에서 무작위로 plaques을 선정하였고, 이를 플라스미드로 전환하여 SK primer를 이용한 부분 염기서열을 결정하였다. 결정된 cDNA 클론의 부분 염기서열을 GenBank 데이타베이스에서 검색하여 37개의 발현 유전자 꼬리표를 생산하였다. 이들 중 15개는 데이터베이스와의 비교부위가 150bp 이상이고 DNA 상동성이 약 60% 이상으로 비교적 높은 DNA 상동 유의성을 나타내는 것으로 혈림프에서 발견되는 수종의 저장 단백질, 곤충의 기동성, 체벽 형성, 효소 및 초파리의 돌연변이 유전자형과 유사한 종류들이었다. 또한 15개의 발현 유전자 꼬리표 중 누에에서 밝혀진 것은 3종이고 그 나머지는 누에에서 처음 밝혀진 것으로 이 클론에 대한 정확한 동정이 요구된다.

Today any data storage system cannot satisfy all of these conditions, however holographic data storage system can perform faster data transfer rate because it is a page oriented memory system using volume hologram in writing and retrieving data. System can be constructed without mechanically actuating part therefore fast data transfer rate and high storage capacity about 1Tb/cm3 can be realized. In this research, to reduce errors of binary data stored in holographic data storage system, a new method for bit error reduction is suggested. Firstly, find fuzzy rule to use test bed system for Element of Holographic Digital Data System. Secondly, make fuzzy rule table using DNA coding method. Finally, reduce prior error element and recording digital data. Recording ratio and reconstruction ratio show good performance.

Glycinin and $\beta$-conglycinin are the most abundant storage protein in soybean. These proteins are known to be synthesized predominantly during germination and cell expansion phase of seed development for short period, and synthesized not in other tissues. Genes encoding these storage proteins are useful system to study the mechanism of development stage and tissue specific gene expression in eukaryotes, especially plants, at the molecular level. The cDNA and genomic clones coding for glycinin have been isolated and regulation mechanism of the gene expression has been studied. Initially, development and tissue-specific expression of the glycinin gene is regulated at the level of transcription. Post-transcriptional processing is also responsible for delayed accumulation of the mRNA. Translational control of the storage protein gene has not been reported. Post-translational modification is another strategic point to regulate the expression of the gene. It is possible to identify positive and/or negative reguratory clements in vivo by producing transgenic plants agter gene manipulation. Elucidation of activation and repression mechanism of soybean storage protein genes will contribute to the understanding of the other plant and eukaryotic genes at molecular level.

개인 유전정보 또는 대용량 DNA 저장 정보의 보호와 GMO(Genetically Modified Organism) 저작권 보호를 위하여 DNA 서열 워터마킹 연구가 필요하다. 기존 멀티미디어 데이터 워터마킹에서는 강인성 및 비가시성에 대한 성능이 우수한 DCT, DWT, FMT(Fourer-Mellin transform) 등 주파수 기반으로 설계되어졌다. 그러나 부호 영역 서열의 주파수 기반 워터마킹은 아미노산 보존성을 유지하면서 변환 및 역변환을 수행하여야 하므로, 워터마크 삽입에 대한 상당한 제약을 가진다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 변이 강인성, 아미노산 보존성 및 보안성을 가지는 부호 영역 서열의 Lifting 기반 DWT 변환 계수를 이용한 워터마킹을 제안하며, 주파수 기반 DNA 서열 워터마킹에 대한 가능성을 제기한다. 실험 결과로부터 제안한 방법이 10%의 포인트 변이와 5%의 삽입 및 삭제 변이에 대한 강인성을 가지며, 아미노산 보존성 및 보안성을 가짐을 확인하였다.
