Bacillus cereus group bacteria share a significant degree of genetic similarity. Thus, to differentiate and identify the Bacillus cereus group efficiently, a multiplex PCR method using the gyrB and groEL genes as diagnostic markers is suggested for simultaneous detection. The assay yielded a 400 bp amplicon for the groEL gene from all the B. cereus group bacteria, and a 253 bp amplicon from B. anthracis, 475 bp amplicon from B. cereus, 299 bp amplicon from B. thuringiensis, and 604 bp amplicon from B. mycoides for the gyrB gene. No nonspecific amplicons were observed with the DNA from 29 other pathogenic bacteria. The specificity and sensitivity of the B. cereus group identification using this multiplex PCR assay were evaluated with different kinds of food samples. In conclusion, the proposed multiplex PCR is a reliable, simple, rapid, and efficient method for the simultaneous identification of B. cereus group bacteria from food samples in a single tube.

A PCR-enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (PCR-ELISA) was developed for the rapid and sensitive detection of L. monocytogenes. PCR primers generating a 132-bp amplicon and a capture probe able to hybridize to the PCR amplicon were designed based on the L. monocytogenes-specific hly gene encoding listeriolysin. The detection limit of PCR-ELISA for L. monocytogenes was determined to be as low as 10 cells per PCR reaction, and this level of detection was achieved within 5 h. These results indicate that the PCR-ELISA provides a valuable tool for the rapid and sensitive detection of L. monocytogenes for the ready-to-eat food industry.

A multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method was developed to simultaneously detect three varieties of genetically modified (GM) canola. The construct-specific primers were used to distinguish the following three varieties of GM canola; GT73, MS8xRF3, and T45, using multiplex PCR. The FatA (fatty acyl-ACP thioesterase) gene was used as an endogenous canola reference gene in the PCR detection. The primer pair Canendo-FIR containing a 105 bp amplicon was used to amplify the FatA gene and no amplified product was observed in any of the 15 different plants used as templates. The GT73-KHUF1/R1 primer recognized the 3'-flanking region of GT73, resulting in an amplicon of 125 bp. The Barstar-F1/MS8xRF3-R primer recognized the junction region of bars tar and the NOS terminator introduced into MS8xRF3, resulting in a 162 bp amplicon, and the T45-F2/R2 primer recognized the junction region of PAT and the 35S terminator introduced into T45, resulting in an amplicon of 186 bp. This multiplex PCR allowed for the detection of construct-specific targets in a genomic DNA mixture of up to 1% GM canola containing GT73, MS8xRF3, and T45.

A multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was developed for the simultaneous detection and differentiation among Vairimorpha spp. and Nosema spp. and identification of Vairimorpha necatrix from Lepidoptera insects. Three sets of primers were selected from different genomic sequences to specifically amplify an 831 bp amplicon within the SSU rRNA gene, specific for both Vairimorpha spp. and Nosema spp. (MSSR primer); a 542 bp amplicon within the SSU rRNA gene, specific for Vairimorpha spp. (VSSU primer); and a 476 bp amplicon within the actin gene, specific for Vairimorpha necatrix (VNAG primer). Using the primers in conjunction with multiplex PCR, it was possible to detect Vairimorpha spp. and Nosema spp. and to differentiate between them. The sensitivity of this PCR assay was approximately 10 spores per milliliter. It is proposed that the multiplex PCR is a sensitive, specific, and rapid tool that can serve as a useful differential diagnostic tool for detecting Vairimorpha spp. and Nosema spp. in Lepidoptera insect.

본 연구에서는 형태학적으로 판별이 어려운 옥돔과 옥두어의 종 특이 primer를 개발, 검증한 후 모니터링을 통해 위변조 된 옥돔의 유통을 예방하고자 하였다. 옥돔과 옥두어 염기서열은 clustal omega 프로그램을 이용하여 정리하였고, primer3 프로그램을 이용하여 primer를 설계하였다. Multiplex PCR 결과는 옥돔과 옥두어에 대한 종 특이적 증폭이 확인되었고, PCR 반응을 확인하기 위한 공통 유전자에 대한 증폭이 확인되었다. 옥돔을 288 bp, 옥두어를 159 bp, 공통 유전자를 502 bp로 증폭되어 각각 PCR product 사이에 100 bp 이상 차이가 나타나 정확하게 판별이 가능하였다. Multiplex PCR 민감도 실험결과 옥돔 primer가 1 ng, 옥두어 primer가 1 ng, 공통 유전자 primer가 1 ng까지 밴드가 확인되었다. 모니터링 실험결과, 옥돔 38건, 옥두어 13건으로 판정되어 시료의 어종과 실험결과가 100% 일치함을 확인하였고, 위변조 사례는 나타나지 않았다. 본 실험에서 개발된 multiplex PCR 방법은 특이도와 민감도가 확보되었고 모니터링을 통해 유통, 판매되고 있는 옥돔과 옥두어의 판별에 적합함을 확인하였다.

For the specific detection of human Parvovirus B19 (HuPaV-B19), we designed ten specific PCR primers from 3,800~4,500 nucleotides of HuPaV-B19 complete genome (NC_000883.2). Seventeen candidate PCR primer sets for specific detecting HuPaV-B19 were constructed. In specific reaction of HuPaV-B19, seventeen PCR primer sets showed specific band, however five PCR primer sets were selected basis of band intensity, amplicon size and location. In non-specific reaction with seven reference viruses, four PCR primer sets showed non-specific band, however one PCR primer set is not. Detection sensitivity of final selective PCR primer set was $100fg/{\mu}L$ for 112 minute, and PCR amplicon is 539 base pairs (bp). In addition, nested PCR primer set was developed, for detection HuPaV-B19 from a low concentration of contaminated samples. Selection of nested PCR primer set was basis of sensitivity and groundwater sample tests. Detection sensitivity of final selective PCR and nested PCR primer sets for the detection of HuPaV-B19 were $100fg/{\mu}L$ and $100ag/{\mu}L$ basis of HuPaV-B19 plasmid, it was able to rapid and highly sensitive detection of HuPaV-B19 than previous reports. We expect developed PCR primer set in this study will used for detection of HuPaV-B19 in various samples.

A multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method was developed to simultaneously detect 3 events of genetically modified (GM) maize. The event-specific primers were used to discriminate the following 3 events of GM maize (DAS-59122-7, TC6275, and MIR604) using multiplex PCR method. The zein gene was used as an endogenous maize reference gene in the multiplex PCR detection. The primer pair Zein-FIR producing a 99 bp amplicon was used to amplify the zein gene. The primer JI-Das-F1/R1 for DAS-59122-7, JI-TC6275-F3/R3 for TC6275, and JI-MIR F1/R1 for MIR604 yielded an amplicon of 130, 162, and 197 bp, respectively. The detection limit of multiplex PCR was 1% for DAS-59122-7, TC6275, and MIR604 for one reaction.

법유전학에서 개인의 신원확인을 위한 STR 프로필 분석이 불가한 경우, DNA를 이용한 외형추정특성을 이용하여 개인에 대한 정보를 얻을 수 있다. 최근 눈동자, 머리카락, 피부 색과 같은 외형추정특성을 확인하는 방법들이 연구되고 있지만, 이러한 외형추정특성 정보만 가지고는 한국을 비롯한 동아시아 지역에서 적용하기에는 한계가 있다. 본 연구에서는 개인의 외형과 관련된 표현형을 수사정보로서 활용하기 위해 눈 모양, 머리카락 굵기, 피부 색 뿐만 아니라 탈모, 체형, 고도근시, 얼굴모양, 여드름, 행동습관과 관련된 SNP를 탐색하였다. 이들 표현형과 관련된 50개의 SNP를 선정하여 한 번에 증폭할 수 있는 targeted amplicon NGS 방식의 multiplex PCR 패널을 개발하였다. 실험 결과 14개 샘플에서 50개 SNP의 대립유전자 유형과 빈도를 확인할 수 있었다. 향후 본 패널을 가지고 더 많은 샘플을 이용하여 유전형과 표현형 간 연관성 확인 및 결과 해석 방법을 분석할 예정이다.

Soil microbial communities are immensely diverse and complex with respect to species richness and community size. These communities play essential roles in agricultural soil because they are responsible for most of the nutrient cycles in the soil and influence the plant diversity and productivity. However, the majority of these microbes remain uncharacterized because of poor culturability. Next-generation sequencing techniques have revolutionized many areas of biology by providing cheaper and faster alternatives to Sanger sequencing. Among them, amplicon pyrosequencing is a powerful tool developed by 454 Life Sciences for assessing the diversity of complex microbial communities by sequencing PCR products or amplicons. This review summarizes the current opinions in amplicon sequencing of soil microbial communities, and provides practical guidance and advice on sequence quality control, aligning, clustering, OTU- and taxon-based analysis. The last section of this article includes a few representative studies conducted using amplicon pyrosequencing.
