The polymorphisms of six microsatellites were investigated in four indigenous pig breeds (Erhualian, Tongcheng, Qingping and Wannanhua) and three introduced breeds (Large White, Landrace and Duroc) in China, and the genetic variations within and among populations were analyzed. The results showed that genetic diversity of Chinese indigenous pig breeds is higher than that of the introduced pig breeds. The clustering of seven breeds is consistent with their geographical distribution approximately. Estimated time of breed divergence ranged from 653 to 1856 years.

Genetic parameters for linear type and composite traits were estimated by using Bayesian inference via Gibbs sampling with a multiple threshold animal model in Holstein cows. Fifteen linear type traits and 5 composite traits were included to estimate genetic variance and covariance components in the model. In this study, 30,204 records were obtained in the cows from 305 sires. Heritability estimates for linear type traits had the estimates as high as 0.28~0.64. Heritability estimates for composite traits were also high, when the traits were assumed to be categorical traits. Final score was more correlated with the composite traits than with the linear type traits.

This paper proposes the systematic auto-tuning method for fuzzy controller using genetic algorithm(GA). In general, the design of fuzzy logic controller has difficulties in the acquisition of expert's knowledge and relies to a great extent on heuristic knowledge which, in many cases, cannot be objectively justified. So, the performance of the controller can be degraded in the case of plant parameter variations or unpredictable incident which the designer may have ignored. Proposed genetic algorithm searches the optimal rule structure, parameters of membership functions and scaling factors simultaneously and automatically by a new genetic coding format. Inverted pendrum system is provided to show the advantages of the proposed method.

The present study is the first report of molecular variations in different accessions of Rauvolfia tetraphylla L.f, a medicinally important plant collected from seven locations of Andhra Pradesh, India. Molecular analysis was carried out using RAPD markers. Out of the 40 primers screened from OPA and OPC Kts, a total of 205 scorable polymorphic markers out of 397 total markers were generated. Polymorphism of 51.6% was found with 3 unique markers. Levels of genetic diversity within accessions i.e., the genetic distance ranged from 0.816-0.932. Cluster analysis based on Dice coefficient showed two major groups indicating that mostly in cross-pollinated plants, high levels of differentiation among accessions exists independent of geographical distance. Hence the results of the present study can be seen as a starting point for future researches on the population and evolutionary genetics of this species. Understanding such variation would also facilitate their use in various conservational management practices, rootstock breeding and hybridisation programmes.

Since the floating goby, Choenogobius onnuloris, has intricate and diverse morphological variations, allozymic analysis at 25 loci was carried out for their populations in Korea to clarify its taxonomic status. A genetic assay carried out revealed that the floating gobies were clearly divided into three genetic groups (Tvpe-A, Tvpe-B and Tvpe-C) in Korea. Alternative alleles were fated at six loci (Aco, 6pgd, Ldh-1, Got-1, Gpf, Gp3l. Some loci had considerable heterogeneitv among three types and no evidence of gene exchange in slunpatric populations was found from statistical analyses. The genetic similarity (Rogers'S) among three types was lower than 0.80 and divergent time estimate indicates that they were speciated during 1.2-1.8 million year before present (WBP). ASso, these three types of C. unnuluris were distinguished morpholosicallv from each other by several characters such as band ornamentations. In conclusion, the evidences presented here support recognition of three types of Chuenogobius annularis as typical discrete species.

During meiosis, homologous chromosomes (homologs) pair and undergo genetic recombination via assembly and disassembly of the synaptonemal complex. Meiotic recombination is initiated by excess formation of DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs), among which a subset are repaired by reciprocal genetic exchange, called crossovers (COs). COs generate genetic variations across generations, profoundly affecting genetic diversity and breeding. At least one CO between homologs is essential for the first meiotic chromosome segregation, but generally only one and fewer than three inter-homolog COs occur in plants. CO frequency and distribution are biased along chromosomes, suppressed in centromeres, and controlled by pro-CO, anti-CO, and epigenetic factors. Accurate and high-throughput detection of COs is important for our understanding of CO formation and chromosome behavior. Here, we review advanced approaches that enable precise measurement of the location, frequency, and genomic landscapes of COs in plants, with a focus on Arabidopsis thaliana.

갈대속 식물 두 종 달뿌리풀과 갈대의 종간 유연관계분석 및 수환경변화에 따른 종내 지역별 유연관계를 조사하기위해 RAPD 분석을 수행하였다. 총 9개의 oligoprimer를 이용한 효소중합반응에서 300 bp에서 1,900 bp 사이의 구간에서 142개의 유효한 polymorphic band를 확인하였다. Nei-Li의 genetic distance를 이용한 분석결과에 의하면, 비유사도지수가 달뿌리풀 개체군 종내에서는 0.012에서 0.061, 갈대 개체군 종내에서는 0.033에서 0.095의 낮은 상이성을 나타내어 종내 지역집단간에는 높은 유전적 유연관계를 보였으며, 달뿌리풀 개체군과 갈대 개체군 종간에서는 0.043에서 0.132의 상이성을 나타내어 달뿌리풀과 갈대 사이의 비유사도지수의 큰 차이는 보이지 않았으나 유전적으로 거리가 있는 것으로 나타났다. RAPD 결과 이 두 종 사이에 뚜렷한 차이를 구별할 수 있는 genetic marker를 확인하였고, UPGMA 유집분석에 의하면 두 종은 비슷한 수환경끼리 유연관계가 가까운 것으로 나타났고 다른 수환경끼리는 유연관계가 먼 것으로 나타났다. RAPD 분석법은 갈대속 두 종의 분류학적 혼동 해결과 동시에, 수환경변화에 따른 종내 지역별 유전적 유연관계 확인에 매우 유용한 방법인 것으로 나타났다.

Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT) is clinically heterogeneous hereditary motor and sensory neuropathies with genetic heterogeneity, age-dependent penetrance, and variable expressivity. Rare copy number variations by nonrecurrent rearrangements have recently been suggested to be associated with Charcot-Marie-Tooth 1A (CMT1A) neuropathy. In our previous study, we found three Korean CMT1A families with rare copy number variations (CNVs) on 17p12 by nonrecurrent rearrangement. Careful clinical examinations were performed in all the affected individuals with rare CNVs (n=19), which may be the first full study of a subject from a large CMT1A family with nonrecurrent rearrangement. The clinical phenotype showed no significant difference compared with common CMT1A patients, but with variable phenotypes. In particular, a broad intrafamilial phenotypic spectrum was observed within the same family, which may suggest the existence of a genetic modifier. This study may broaden the understanding of the role of CNVs in the pathogenesis of CMT.

The selected seven oligonucleotides primers BION-32, BION-33, BION-35, BION-38, BION-40, BION-46 and BION-58 generated the shared loci, specific loci, unique shared loci to each population and shared loci by the three T. granosa populations in Beolgyo, a Chinese site and Wonsan, respectively. The bandsharing value between individuals' no. 03 and no. 04 was 0.816, which was the highest value identified within the Beolgyo population. The primer BION-35 generated the most loci (a total of 70), with an average of 10.0 in the Wonsan population. On average, seven oligonucleotides primers generated 16.1 specific loci in the Beolgyo population, 22.3 in the Chinese population and 39.3 in the Wonsan population. 126 unique shared loci to each population, with an average of 18 per primer, were observed in the Beolgyo population, 63 loci, with an average of 9 per primer, were observed in the Chinese population, and 49 loci, with an average of 7 per primer, and were observed in the Wonsan population. The oligonucleotides primer BION-32 generated 14 unique loci to each population, which were identifying each population in the Beolgyo population. Interestingly, every primer had not distinguished the shared loci by the three populations, major and/or minor fragments of sizes, which were identical in almost all of the samples. As regards average bandsharing value (BS) results, individuals from Beolgyo population ($0.717{\pm}0.057$) exhibited higher BS values than did those from Wonsan population ($0.552{\pm}0.104$) (P < 0.05). The dendrogram resulted from truthful seven oligonucleotides primers, representing three genetic clusters comprising group I (BEOLGYO 01, 02, 03, 04, 05, 06 and 07), group II (CHINESE 08, 09, 10, 11, 12, 13 and 14) and group III (WONSAN 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20 and 21). In three T. granosa populations, the longest genetic distance (0.874) displaying significant molecular difference was also between individual no. 02 within the Beolgyo population and individual no. 12 within the Chinese population. Relatively, individuals of the CHINESE population were fairly closely related to those of the WONSAN population.

Background: Scanning of the genome for selection signatures between breeds may play important role in understanding the underlie causes for observable phenotypic variations. The discovery of high density single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) provide a useful starting point to perform genome-wide scan in pig populations in order to identify loci/candidate genes underlie phenotypic variation in pig breeds and facilitate genetic improvement programs. However, prior to this study genomic region under selection in commercially selected Berkshire and Korean native pig breeds has never been detected using high density SNP markers. To this end, we have genotyped 45 animals using Porcine SNP60 chip to detect selection signatures in the genome of the two breeds by using the $F_{ST}$ approach. Results: In the comparison of Berkshire and KNP breeds using the FDIST approach, a total of 1108 outlier loci (3.48%) were significantly different from zero at 99% confidence level with 870 of the outlier SNPs displaying high level of genetic differentiation ($F_{ST}{\geq}0.490$). The identified candidate genes were involved in a wide array of biological processes and molecular functions. Results revealed that 19 candidate genes were enriched in phosphate metabolism (GO: 0006796; ADCK1, ACYP1, CAMK2D, CDK13, CDK13, ERN1, GALK2, INPP1; MAK, MAP2K5, MAP3K1, MAPK14, P14KB, PIK3C3, PRKC1, PTPRK, RNASEL, THBS1, BRAF, VRK1). We have identified a set of candidate genes under selection and have known to be involved in growth, size and pork quality (CART, AGL, CF7L2, MAP2K5, DLK1, GLI3, CA3 and MC3R), ear morphology and size (HMGA2 and SOX5) stress response (ATF2, MSRB3, TMTC3 and SCAF8) and immune response (HCST and RYR1). Conclusions: Some of the genes may be used to facilitate genetic improvement programs. Our results also provide insights for better understanding of the process and influence of breed development on the pattern of genetic variations.
