We used nine microsatellite DNA markers to estimate genetic variation among wild and cultured populations of the sea squirt Halocynthia roretzi. The loci were polymorphic, with 6-32 alleles, and allelic richness ranged from 6.0 to 26.1 in each population. The wild and the cultured populations had similar mean heterozygosities ($H_O$ and $H_E$), allele numbers, and allelic richness. One cultured population with softness syndrome had a lower mean in the observed heterozygosity ($H_O$ = 0.57) and higher mean inbreeding coefficient ($F_{IS}$ = 0.261) than any other populations. This suggests that the loss of genetic variation in the diseased population might be due to increased inbreeding. A neighbor-joining tree and pairwise population estimates of $F_{ST}$ showed moderate genetic differentiation between the wild and the cultured populations. Additionally, the softness syndrome population was genetically divergent from wild populations, but it was genetically close to the cultured populations.

본 연구는 상업용 난용종계에서 선발에 의한 유전력과 유전상관계수등의 유전모수가 어떤 양상으로 변화하는지를 알아보기 위하여 수행되었다. 분석에 이용된 자료는 백색레그혼종 1계통(Line-W)과 갈색난용종 1계통(Line-B)에 대한 1980년부터 1985년까지의 6년간 5세대 동안의 선발결과에 대한 것으로 표현형 능력 변화와 근친교배의 영향력 분석 및 유전력과 유전상관계수의 추정에 의해 얻어진 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1. 두 계통의 표현형 능력 변화는 주 선발형질인 300일령 산란수와 400일령 산란수에서, Line-W의 경우는 4세대와 5세대에서 감소한 것으로 나타난 반면, Line-B에서는 희귀분석에 의해 각각 2.87개와 4.25개씩 증가한 것으로 나타났다. 초산일령은 두 계통에서 각각 세대당 1.61일과 4.44일씩 단축된 것으로 분석되었는데, Line-B에서 얻어진 수치는 고도의 유의성을 보였다. Line-W에서 나타난 산란수의 감소추세가 유전적개량의 한계에 의한 것인지의 여부는 대조구 집단에 의한 자료가 없는 한 확인하기가 어려웠다. 2. 폐쇄집단에서 이루어진 선발과정에서 필연적으로 나타날 근친교배의 영향력에 대해 알아보기 위하여 매세대 유효양친수에 의한 근교계수 상승도를 추정한 결과 각각 0.2％와 0.3％로 나타났고, 가계형성원을 조사하여 계산된 세대별 근교계수는 각각 0.8％이하로 나타나서 근친교배로 인한 능력의 저하현상이나 유전모수 추정의 오차는 무시해도 좋을 것으로 판단되었다. 3. 두 계통의 주요 형질에 대한 유전력은 대부분의 형질에서 모 분산에 의한 추정치가 부 분산이나 희귀분석에 의한 추정치에 비해서 높게 나타나, 이들 형질에 미치는 모체효과를 포함한 비상가적 유전변이의 존재를 암시해 주었다. 300일령 산란수와 산란율 등의 형질에 대한 유전력은 두 계통에서 세대 경과에 따라 감소되는 추세를 보였으나, 30주령 및 40주령시에 난중에 대한 유전력 추정치는 세대 경과에 따라 뚜렷한 감소 추세를 보이지 못했다. 또한, 주요 형질 사이의 유전상관계수도 세대 경과에 따라 일정한 방향으로 변화되지 않는 것으로 나타났는데, 이는 여러 형질이 동시에 선발되었고 또 각 형질에 대한 선발비중이 세대별로 일정하지 못했던데서 오는 형질간 유전자 작용의 복합성에 기인되는 것으로 생각되었다.

The mating systems of two groups of natural populations of Gleditsia japonica var. koraiensis in Korea were determined using allozyme analysis. The result suggests that G. japonica var. koraiensis is predominantly outcrossing. The tm values of eight populations in Korea varied from 0.667 (Mdh-1) to 0.938 (ldh-1), giving an average 0.820. Population and individual outcrossing estimates were associated with flowering tree density or degree of spatial isolation. The reason for relatively low outcrossing rates of some populations could be attributed to reduction of effective population sizes of sib for the medicine, small population size, and isolation of flowering mature trees. The heterozygote excesses were observed in some natural populations, whereas other populations exhibited varying degrees of inbreeding and heterozygotes deficit. Thus, selection against homozygotes operated in the progeny populations throughout the life cycle.

Objective: A comprehensive study was conducted to study the effects of partition of variance on accuracy of genetic parameters and genetic trends of economic traits in Vanaraja male line/project directorate-1 (PD-1) chicken. Methods: Variance component analysis utilizing restricted maximum likelihood animal model was carried out with five generations data to delineate the population status, direct additive, maternal genetic, permanent environmental effects, besides genetic trends and performance of economic traits in PD-1 chickens. Genetic trend was estimated by regression of the estimated average breeding values (BV) on generations. Results: The body weight (BW) and shank length (SL) varied significantly (p≤0.01) among the generations, hatches and sexes. The least squares mean of SL at six weeks, the primary trait was 77.44±0.05 mm. All the production traits, viz., BWs, age at sexual maturity, egg production (EP) and egg weight were significantly influenced by generation. Model four with additive, maternal permanent environmental and residual effects was the best model for juvenile growth traits, except for zero-day BW. The heritability estimates for BW and SL at six weeks (SL6) were 0.20±0.03 and 0.17±0.03, respectively. The BV of SL6 in the population increased linearly from 0.03 to 3.62 mm due to selection. Genetic trend was significant (p≤0.05) for SL6, BW6, and production traits. The average genetic gain of EP40 for each generation was significant (p≤0.05) with an average increase of 0.38 eggs per generation. The average inbreeding coefficient was 0.02 in PD-1 line. Conclusion: The population was in ideal condition with negligible inbreeding and the selection was quite effective with significant genetic gains in each generation for primary trait of selection. The animal model minimized the over-estimation of genetic parameters and improved the accuracy of the BV, thus enabling the breeder to select the suitable breeding strategy for genetic improvement.

1998년도부터 2001년도까지 실시한 한우 후대검정에서 공시된 후보종모우들에 대한 근친도를 조사해 본 결과, 대부분의 종모우들은 근친되지 않고 있어 한우 종모우 집단은 아직 non-inbred 집단으로 간주해도 무방할 것으로 사료되었다. 하지만 많은 개체들간에 혈연관계가 있는 것으로 조사되어 앞으로 근친도가 크게 상향될 것으로 예상되기 때문에 농가에서 보다 계획적인 정액 선택을 통한 교배가 권장된다. 또한 거세 검정우 1262두로부터 조사된 도체성적들에 대한 유전모수를 선형모형하에서 REML 방법으로 추정된 결과와 근내지방도를 범주형자료로 간주하여 Gibbs sampling 방법으로 추정한 결과, 기존의 비거세우를 대상으로 추정한 결과 보다 다소 높게 추정되었으며 GS방법에 의한 추정치가 REML 방법에 의한 추정치보다 높게 추정되었다. 특히 근내지방도에 대한 유전력 추정치는 GS방법에서 0.74으로 아주 고도의 유전력을 갖는 것으로 추정되어 근내지방도에 대한 개량의 용이함을 제시하였다. 또한 근내지방도와 등지방두께 간에는 0.46의 유전상관을 갖는 것으로 추정되었으며 근내지방도와 출하시 체중간에는 -0.44의 부의상관을 갖는 것으로 추정되었다. 반면에 도체율과 근내지방도간에는 -0.72의 강한 부의상관을 갖는 것으로 추정되었는데 도체율에 대한 변이가 상당히 낮은 변이계수를 고려할 때 추정치에 대한 신뢰도가 낮을 것으로 예상되었다. 종모우의 육종가에 대한 추정방법간의 상관은 다소 낮을 것으로 예상되기 때문에 이에 대한 연구가 필요할 것으로 사료된다.

Genetic variation at 25 microsatellite loci, population structure, and genetic bottleneck hypothesis were examined for Ankleshwar poultry population found in Gujrat, India. The estimates of genetic variability such as effective number of alleles and gene diversities revealed substantial genetic variation frequently displayed by microsatellite markers. The average polymorphism across the studied loci and the expected gene diversity in the population were 6.44 and 0.670${\pm}$0.144, respectively. The population was observed to be significantly differentiated into different groups, and showed fairly high level of inbreeding (f = 0.240${\pm}$0.052) and global heterozygote deficit. The bottleneck analysis indicated the absence of genetic bottleneck in the past. The study revealed that the Ankleshwar poultry breed needs appropriate genetic management for its conservation and improvement. The information generated in this study may further be utilized for studying differentiation and relationships among different Indian poultry breeds.

Black sea bream, Acanthopagrus schlegelii, is a commercially important fish in Korea. As a preliminary investigation into the effect of hatchery rearing for stock enhancement, we examined genetic diversity between wild and farmed black sea bream populations from Jeju using six microsatellite markers. High levels of polymorphism were observed between the two populations. A total of 87 different alleles were found at the loci, with some alleles being unique. Allelic variability ranged from 8 to 22 in the wild population and from 7 to 17 in the farmed one. Average observed and expected heterozygosities were estimated at 0.87 and 0.88 in the wild sample. The corresponding estimates were 0.83 and 0.86 in the farmed sample. Although a considerable loss of rare alleles was observed in the farmed sample, no statistically significant reductions were found in heterozygosity or allelic diversity in the farmed sample, compared with the wild one. Significant genetic heterogeneity was found between the wild and farmed populations. These results suggest that more intensive breeding practices for stock enhancement may have resulted in a further decrease of genetic diversity. Thus, it is necessary to monitor genetic variation in bloodstock, progeny, and target populations and control inbreeding in a commercial breeding program for conservation. This information may be useful for fisheries management and the aquaculture industry.

Comprehensive information on genetic diversity and introgression is desirable for the design of rational breed improvement and conservation programs. Despite the concerns regarding the genetic introgression of Western pig breeds into the gene pool of the Korean native pig (KNP), the level of this admixture has not yet been quantified. In the present study, we genotyped 93 animals, representing four Western pig breeds and KNP, using the porcine SNP 60K BeadChip to assess their genetic diversity and to estimate the level of admixture among the breeds. Expected heterozygosity was the lowest in Berkshire (0.31) and highest in Landrace (0.42). Population differentiation ($F_{ST}$) estimates were significantly different (p<0.000), accounting for 27% of the variability among the breeds. The evidence of inbreeding observed in KNP (0.029) and Yorkshire (0.031) may result in deficient heterozygosity. Principal components one (PC1) and two (PC2) explained approximately 35.06% and 25.20% of the variation, respectively, and placed KNP somewhat proximal to the Western pig breeds (Berkshire and Landrace). When K = 2, KNP shared a substantial proportion of ancestry with Western breeds. Similarly, when K = 3, over 86% of the KNP individuals were in the same cluster with Berkshire and Landrace. The linkage disquilbrium (LD) values at $r^2_{0.3}$, the physical distance at which LD decays below a threshold of 0.3, ranged from 72.40 kb in Landrace to 85.86 kb in Yorkshire. Based on our structure analysis, a substantial level of admixture between Western and Korean native pig breeds was observed.

Objective: European pigs have been imported to improve the economically important traits of Thai pigs by crossbreeding and was finally completely replaced. Currently Thai indigenous pigs are particularly kept in a small population. Therefore, indigenous pigs risk losing their genetic diversity and identity. Thus, this study was conducted to perform large-scale genetic diversity and phylogenetic analyses on the many pig breeds available in Thailand. Methods: Genetic diversity and phylogenetics analyses of 222 pigs belonging to Thai native pigs (TNP), Thai wild boars (TWB), European commercial pigs, commercial crossbred pigs, and Chinese indigenous pigs were investigated by genotyping using 26 microsatellite markers. Results: The results showed that Thai pig populations had a high genetic diversity with mean total and effective ($N_e$) number of alleles of 14.59 and 3.71, respectively, and expected heterozygosity ($H_e$) across loci (0.710). The polymorphic information content per locus ranged between 0.651 and 0.914 leading to an average value above all loci of 0.789, and private alleles were found in six populations. The higher $H_e$ compared to observed heterozygosity ($H_o$) in TNP, TWB, and the commercial pigs indicated some inbreeding within a population. The Nei's genetic distance, mean $F_{ST}$ estimates, neighbour-joining tree of populations and individual, as well as multidimensional analysis indicated close genetic relationship between Thai indigenous pigs and some Chinese pigs, and they are distinctly different from European pigs. Conclusion: Our study reveals a close genetic relationship between TNP and Chinese pigs. The genetic introgression from European breeds is found in some TNP populations, and signs of genetic erosion are shown. Private alleles found in this study should be taken into consideration for the breeding program. The genetic information from this study will be a benefit for both conservation and utilization of Thai pig genetic resources.
