Molecular genetic techniques can now be applied to the development of advanced plant genotypes, either through genetic transformation or genomic approaches which allow researchers to transfer specific traits using molecular markers. In this paper, we discuss the use of these techniques towards understanding the genetics of blackleg resistance in Brassica. In a comparative mapping study between Arabidopsis thaliana and Brassica napus, 6 R-ESTs, 7 B. napus RFLP markers and a B. napus EST were located in a collinear region of N7 (B. napus) and chromosome 1 (A. thaliana). One of the A. thaliana R-ESTs and 4 of the B. napus RFLPs co-segregated and mapped to the LmRl locus for blackleg resistance. Introgression of blackleg resistance from wild relatives is also investigated with the possibility of accelerating the introgression process via marker assisted selection.

The estimated emissions from proposed four ESTs for each measurement period were compared with the estimated emissions from baseline farms, after the later are adjusted for the average environmental parameters (lagoon temperature and air temperature) observed at the EST sites. The ESTs at Barham Farm and Grinnell's Laboratory were more effective in reducing the ammonia emission during one of the two sampling periods. However, based on the current research results and analysis, and available information in the scientific literature, the evaluated alternative technologies may require additional technical modifications to be qualified as Environmentally Superior as defined by the NC Attorney General Agreements.

Expressed sequence tags(ESTs) constitute a rapid and informative strategy for studying gene-expression profiles of specific stages and tissues. In this report, a cDNA library constructed from late larval Hydropsyche sp. was used to generate ESTs. Caddis larval silk-gland produce silk which are used in constructing their retreats and cases in the aquatic situation. (omitted)

We isolated two parvalbumin cDNAS by expressed sequence tag analysis (1,577 ESTs in total) from the self-fertilizing fish Rivulus marmoratus (Cyprinodontiformes, Rivulidae). Two isoforms of parvalbumin genes showed high similarity to those of carp at 88% and 91% amino acid residues identity, respectively, and showed 79.8% similarity between two parvalbumin isoforms. Of 1,577 ESTs from R. marmroatus sequenced, parvalbumin 1 gene was most abundant. This gene was strongly expressed in the order of muscle, eye, and brain, while it was expressed slightly in other tissues. In this paper, we discussed on the R. marmoratus parvalbumin genes on its sequence and basic characteristics.

We constructed a rock bream (Oplegnathus fasciatus) gill cDNA library and a total of 1450 expressed sequence tag (EST) clones were generated. Gene annotation procedures and homology searches of the sequenced ESTs were locally done by BLASTX for amino acid similarity comparisons. Of the 1450 EST clones, 1022 EST clones showed significant homology to previously described genes while 428 ESTs were unidentified, and 259 clones were hypothetical, or unnamed proteins. Encoding 313 different sequences were identified as putative bio-defense genes or genes associated with immune response.

Determined sequences of 384 randomly selected clones in a PCR-based cDNA library of Antheraea yamamai could identify expressed sequence tags (ESTs) of highly expressed gene. One EST (fibroin) appeared 15 times, one EST (40S ribosomal protein S18) twelve times, one EST (ribosomal protein S24a) eleven times, ten times (ribosomal protein S8), nine times (60S ribosomal protein L10A), seven times (60S ribosomal protein S15A, S17, S17 and seroin), six times (ribosomal protein S8), five times (ribosomal protein S24, mariner transposase and P8 protein), four times (serpin 2), three times (heat shock protein 70 and poly A binding protein), and the remaining 6 ESTs twice (amylase, KIAA1006, elongation factor-1, transposon mag, translation initiation factor 4C, QM protein, transposase). Therefore, the 94 EST make it possible to identify 24 redundant clones that are candidates for highly expressed genes in posterior silk gland of this insect. The 24 redundant EST clones were identified in GenBank, but none of them was related to A. yamamai, suggesting that there are many unidentified genes which are highly expressed in the A. yamamai genome.

Red algae are distributed globally, and the group contains several commercially important species. Griffithsia okiensis is one of the most extensively studied red algal species. In this study, we conducted expressed sequence tag (ESTs) analysis and synonymous codon usage analysis using cultured G. okiensis samples. A total of 1,104 cDNA clones were sequenced using a cDNA library made from samples collected from Dolsan Island, on the southern coast of Korea. The clustering analysis of these sequences allowed for the identification of 1,048 unigene clusters consisting of 36 consensus and 1,012 singleton sequences. BLASTX searches generated 532 significant hits (E-value <$10^{-4}$) and via further Gene Ontology analysis, we constructed a functional classification of 434 unigenes. Our codon usage analysis showed that unigene clusters with more than three ESTs had higher GC contents (76.5%) at the third position of the codons than the singletons. Also, the majority of the optimal codons of G. okiensis and Chondrus crispus belonging to Bangiophycidae were G-ending, whereas those of Porphyra yezoensis belonging to Florideophycidae were G-ending. An orthologous gene search for the P. yezoensis EST database resulted in the identification of 39 unigenes commonly expressed in two rhodophytes, which have putative functions for structural proteins, protein degradation, signal transduction, stress response, and physiological processes. Although experiments have been conducted on a limited scale, this study provides a material basis for the development of microarrays useful for gene expression studies, as well as useful information for the comparative genomic analysis of red algae.

배추는 재배 온도에 따라 수확량과 품질에 많은 영향을 받을 수 있다. 고온 스트레스 저항성 배추품종 육성을 위해 본 연구는 스트레스 저항성에 관련이 있다고 알려진 trehalose 유전자 관련 다형성 마커를 개발하였다. 아라비돕시스 trehalose 합성 유전자와 유사한 총 28개의 배추 EST를 NCBI database에서 찾고 고온에 상대적으로 약한 지부품종과 고온에 잘 견디는 품종인 권심을 대상으로 다형성을 조사하였다. 이 중 10개의 EST에서 insertion/deletion 또는 single nucleotide polymorphism을 발견하여 이를 바탕으로 쉽게 이용이 가능한 10개의 다형성 PCR 마커를 개발하였다. 본 연구에서 개발된 trehalose 분자마커는 앞으로 배추 작물에서 환경 스트레스 저항성과 유전적 연관성을 확인하는데 이용될 수 있고 MAS를 이용한 품종육성에 이용될 수 있다고 기대된다.

Using the Phred/Phrap/Polyphred/Consed pipeline established in the National Livestock Research Institute of Korea, we predicted candidate coding single nucleotide polymorphisms (cSNPs) from 7,600 expressed sequence tags (ESTs) derived from three cDNA libraries (liver, M. longissimus dorsi, and intermuscular fat) of Hanwoo (Korean native cattle) steers. From the 7,600 ESTs, 829 contigs comprising more than two EST reads were assembled using the Phrap assembler. Based on the contig analysis, 201 candidate cSNPs were identified in 129 contigs, in which transitions (69%) outnumbered transversions (31%). To verify whether the predicted cSNPs are real, 17 SNPs involved in lipid and energy metabolism were selected from the ESTs. Twelve of these were confirmed to be real while five were identified as artifacts, possibly due to expressed sequence tag sequence error. Further analysis of the 12 verified cSNPs was performed using the program BLASTX. Five were identified as nonsynonymous cSNPs, five were synonymous cSNPs, and two SNPs were located in 3'-UTRs. Our data indicated that a relatively high SNP prediction rate (71%) from a large EST database could produce abundant cSNPs rapidly, which can be used as valuable genetic markers in cattle.
