Marker-assisted backcrossing (MABC) is useful for selecting offspring with a highly recovered genetic background for a recurrent parent at early generation unlike rice and other field crops. Molecular marker sets applicable to practical MABC are scarce in vegetable crops including tomatoes. In this study, we used the National Center for Biotechnology Information- short read archive (NCBI-SRA) database that provided the whole genome sequences of 234 tomato accessions and selected 27,680 tag-single nucleotide polymorphisms (tag-SNPs) that can identify haplotypes in the tomato genome. From this SNP dataset, a total of 143 tag-SNPs that have a high polymorphism information content (PIC) value (> 0.3) and are physically evenly distributed on each chromosome were selected as a MABC marker set. This marker set was tested for its polymorphism in each pairwise cross combination constructed with 124 of the 234 tomato accessions, and a relatively high number of SNP markers polymorphic for the cross combination was observed. The reliability of the MABC SNP set was assessed by converting 18 SNPs into Luna probe-based high-resolution melting (HRM) markers and genotyping nine tomato accessions. The results show that the SNP information and HRM marker genotype matched in 98.6% of the experiment data points, indicating that our sequence analysis pipeline for SNP mining worked successfully. The tag-SNP set for the MABC developed in this study can be useful for not only a practical backcrossing program but also for cultivar identification and F1 seed purity test in tomatoes.

Carboxypeptidase E (CPE) plays an important role in the regulation of the body fat content. Therefore, it has been suggested as candidate gene for traits related to meat quality in beef cattle. This study was conducted to identify single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the CPE gene and to investigate association of SNP marker with carcass and meat quality traits in Korean cattle. Three SNPs were identified in the intron 4 (A309G SNP and C445T SNP) and exon 5 (C601T SNP) of the CPE gene by sequence analyses of CPE cDNA and genomic DNA samples. The sequences have been deposited in GenBank database with accession numbers AY970664 and AY970663. Genotyping of the gene-specific SNP marker was carried out using the PCR-RFLP with restriction enzymes DdeI for C445T SNP and NlaIII for C601T SNP. The frequencies of C and T alleles were 0.43 and 0.57 for C445T SNP and 0.42 and 0.58 for C601T SNP, respectively. Statistical analysis indicated that the C445T SNP showed a significant effect (p<0.05) on marbling score (MS) and breeding value of backfat thickness (BF-EBV), respectively. Animals with the CT genotype showed higher marbling score and backfat thickness than those with the TT genotype. This marker also showed a significant dominance effect for the MS and BF-EBV (p<0.05). However, no significant associations were observed between C601T SNP genotypes and all traits examined. The results suggest that the CPE gene may be used as a marker for carcass traits in Korean cattle.

Tomato spotted wilt virus (TSWV) causes one of the most destructive viral diseases that threatens global tomato production. Sw-5b was reported as the resistance gene effective against TSWV. The objective of this research was to develop a single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) marker to distinguish tomato cultivars resistant to TSWV from susceptible cultivars for marker-assisted breeding. First, we determined genotypes for TSWV resistance in 32 commercial tomato cultivars using the previously reported Sw-5b gene-based marker. Then, DNA sequences of Sw-5b alleles in tomato cultivars showing resistant or susceptible genotypes were analyzed; a single SNP was found to distinguish tomato cultivars resistant to TSWV from susceptible cultivars. Based on the confirmed SNP, a SNP primer pair was designed. Using this new SNP sequence and high-resolution melting analysis, the same 32 tomato cultivars were screened. The results were perfectly correlated with those from screening with the Sw-5b gene-based marker. These results indicate that the SNP maker developed in this study will be useful for better tracking of resistance to TSWV in tomato breeding.

14개의 microsatellite (MS) marker를 사용 할 경우 무작위 교배 집단(PI) 가정 하에 $3.43{\times}10^{-27}$의 판별율을 보여 60 개의 single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) marker에 비해 약 1,000배의 높은 판별 효과를 나타내는 것으로 파악되었다. 그러나, 60개의 SNP marker의 경우 반형매 교배 집단($PI_{half-sibs}$)으로 가정할 경우 $4.69{\times}10^{-20}$과 전형매 교배 집단($PI_{sibs}$)으로 가정 할 경우 $8.02{\times}10^{-12}$으로 14개의 MS marker에 비해 약 10배와 10,000배의 높은 판별 효과를 나타내는 것으로 추정되었다. 이러한 결과는 무작위 교배집단에서는 사용된 marker의 전체 대립유전자수(MS : SNP = 146 : 120)에 의하여 판별효율이 결정되는 반면, 혈연관계가 높은 반형매와 전형매 집단에서는 비슷한 총 대립유전자수일 경우 marker의 수(MS : SNP = 14 : 60)가 많은 경우가 더 높은 판별율을 보이는 것으로 나타났다. 한육우의 경우 소수의 보증 종모우를 이용해 인공수정을 통해 형성 된 거대한 반형매 집단으로 가정하였을 경우 MS와 SNP marker의 판별율은 10배 정도의 차이로 큰 차이를 보이지 않을 것으로 예견되나, likelihood rato를 이용 하는 inclusion 방법에 의하여 부모를 동시에 찾을 확률은 MS marker가 1,000 배 정도 더 효율적인 것으로 나타났다. SNP marker의 장점인 변이의 안정성, 유전자형 분석의 자동화 및 대용량화 등을 한육우의 동일성 검사에 활용하기 위해서는 분석비용 절감 방안과 분석방법 및 장비의 국산화 등 실용 및 상용화적 측면에서의 연구개발이 필요하다고 사료된다.

Thyroid hormones play an important role in regulating metabolism and can affect homeostasis of fat depots. The gene encoding thyroglobulin (TG), producing the precursor for thyroid hormones, has been proposed as a positional and functional candidate gene for a QTL with an effect on fat deposition. The SNP occurs in the 5' promoter region of the TG gene and is widely used in marker assisted selection (MAS) programs to improve the predictability of marbling level and eating quality in beef cattle. In this study, we identified three SNPs at the 5' promoter region of the TG gene in Korean cattle. Of the three SNPs identified in TG gene, the C257T and A335G were previously unreported new SNPs. The sequence data were submitted to GenBank (GenBank accession number: AY615525). The previously reported C422T SNP showed three genotypes, CC, CT and TT, by digestion with the restriction enzyme MflI using the PCR-RFLP method. A new allelic variant corresponding to the C${\rightarrow}$T and A${\rightarrow}$G mutations at positions 257 and 335, respectively, could be detected by the SSCP analysis. The gene-specific SNP marker association analysis indicated that the C422T SNP marker was significantly associated (p<0.05) with marbling score. Animals with the CC and CT genotypes had higher marbling score than those with the TT genotype. Results from this study suggest that TG gene-specific SNP may be a useful marker for meat quality traits in future MAS programs in Korean cattle.

Marbling (intramuscular fat) is the most economically important meat quality trait in Hanwoo (Korean cattle). The endothelial differentiation G-protein coupled receptor 1 (EDG1) gene, involved in blood vessel formation, is located within the genomic region of a quantitative trait locus (QTL) for marbling on bovine chromosome 3. Thus, the EDG1 gene can be considered as a positional and functional candidate gene for meat quality in beef cattle. This study aimed to identify single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the EDG1 gene and to evaluate their associations with carcass traits in Hanwoo population. We have sequenced a fragment of 5'-UTR of the EDG1 gene and identified one SNP. Genotyping of the g.166A>G SNP marker was carried out using PCR-RFLP analysis in 309 Hanwoo steers in order to evaluate their association with carcass traits. The g.166A>G SNP marker showed a significant effect on the marbling score. Animals with the GG genotype had higher marbling score compared with AA and AG genotypes (p<0.05). This SNP marker also showed a significant additive effects for the marbling score (p<0.05). These results suggest that the EDG1 gene can be used as a molecular marker for DNA marker-assisted selection in order to increase the levels of the marbling score in Hanwoo.

고품질 한우를 만들기 위해 여러 경제형질에 영향을 주는 유전자 즉 single nucleotide polymorphisms(SNPs)를 규명하려고 한다. 이미 Lee 등 (2008a)에 의해 SNP(19_1)$^*$SNP(28_2)가 등심단면적 (LMA: longissimus muscle dorsi area)에 주요한 유전자로 규명되었다. 여기에 추가로 도체중 (CWT: carcass cold weight)과 일당증체량 (ADG: average daily gain)을 선형 모형에 적용하였으며 또한 상호작용에 더 유리하고 연속형 데이터에도 사용할 수 있는 expanded multifactor dimensionality reduction (expanded MDR)을 이용하여 주요한 SNP를 파악하였다. Expanded MDR 적용결과 등심단면적과 같은 결과인 SNP(19_1)과 SNP(19_1)$^*$SNP(28_2)의 상호작용 형태가 가장 좋은 SNP로 선정되었으며, 최종적으로 SNP(19_1)*SNP(28_2) 마커가 한우의 여러 경제형질에 우수 유전자임을 규명하였다.

Best linear unbiased prediction (BLUP) has been used to estimate the fixed effects and random effects of complex traits. Traditionally, genomic relationship matrix-based (GRM) and random marker-based BLUP analyses are prevalent to estimate the genetic values of complex traits. We used three methods: GRM-based prediction (G-BLUP), random marker-based prediction using an identity matrix (so-called single-nucleotide polymorphism [SNP]-BLUP), and SNP-SNP variance-covariance matrix (so-called SNP-GBLUP). We used 35,675 SNPs and R package "rrBLUP" for the BLUP analysis. The SNP-SNP relationship matrix was calculated using the GRM and Sherman-Morrison-Woodbury lemma. The SNP-GBLUP result was very similar to G-BLUP in the prediction of genetic values. However, there were many discrepancies between SNP-BLUP and the other two BLUPs. SNP-GBLUP has the merit to be able to predict genetic values through SNP effects.
