Treponema phagedenis KS1, a fastidious anaerobe, was isolated from a bovine digital dermatitis (BDD)-infected dairy cattle in Chungnam, Korea. Initial data indicated that T. phagedenis KS1 exhibited putative virulent phenotypic characteristics. This study reports the whole genome assembly and annotation of T. phagedenis KS1 (KCTC14157BP) to assist in the identification of putative pathogenicity related factors. The whole genome of T. phagedenis KS1 was sequenced using PacBio RSII and Illumina HiSeqXTen platforms. The assembled T. phagedenis KS1 genome comprises 16 contigs with a total size of 3,769,422 bp and an overall guanine-cytosine (GC) content of 40.03%. Annotation revealed 3,460 protein-coding genes, as well as 49 transfer RNA- and 6 ribosomal RNA-coding genes. The results of this study provide insight into the pathogenicity of T. phagedenis KS1.

In cancer genome studies, the annotation of newly detected oncogene/tumor suppressor gene candidates is a challenging process. We propose using concept lattice analysis for the annotation and interpretation of genes having candidate somatic mutations in whole-exome sequencing in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). We selected 45 highly mutated genes with whole-exome sequencing in 10 normal matched samples of the AML-M2 subtype. To evaluate these genes, we performed concept lattice analysis and annotated these genes with existing knowledge databases.

Cymbidium mosaic virus (CymMV) is a major virus infecting orchid plants and causing economic loss. In this study, the incidence of viral infection in Calanthe spp. at the Korean Institute of Calanthe was investigated using reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction. The CymMV infection rate was 42%, and the two viruses Odontoglossum ringspot virus and Cucumber mosaic virus had frequencies of 8% and 2%, respectively. Additionally, we characterized an isolate of CymMV, CymMV-GW, using biological tests and examined the nucleotide sequence properties of its complete genome. CymMV-GW induced chlorotic ringspots and chlorotic spot symptoms in inoculated leaves of Chenopodium amaranticolor and Nicotiana benthamiana, respectively. In this study, we have for the first complete genome sequence of CymMV-GW in Korea. The CymMV-GW genome was 6,225 nucleotides in length, excluding the poly-(A) tail, and showed whole-genome nucleotide and amino acid sequence identities of 97.7% and 100%, respectively, with the NJ-1 isolate of CymMV. Here, we report the complete genome sequence of the CymMV-GW isolate and viral infection rates for Calanthe spp. in Korea.

한국 발효식품의 보존성을 높이기 위한 스타터 균주를 얻기 위하여 고추장에서 Bacillus subtilis BS16045를 분리하였다. B. subtilis BS16045에 대한 유전체 분석을 실시하였으며, G+C 비율이 43.6%인 4,165,121 bp 크기의 염기서열을 얻었다. 또한 이 유전체로부터 항진균 및 항균 활성에 연관이 있는 surfactin, kanosamine, bacillaene, plipastatin, subtilosin A, bacilysin 생산 유전자들을 확인하였다. 이러한 결과들을 통해 B. subtilis BS16045는 장류 제조시설에서 유해균의 오염문제를 해결할 수 있는 스타터로 이용될 수 있을 것으로 보인다.

Over the last 30 years, Hanwoo has been selectively bred to improve economically important traits. Hanwoo is currently the representative Korean native beef cattle breed, and it is believed that it shared an ancestor with a Chinese breed, Yanbian cattle, until the last century. However, these two breeds have experienced different selection pressures during recent decades. Here, we whole-genome sequenced 10 animals each of Hanwoo and Yanbian cattle (20 total) using the Illumina HiSeq 2000 sequencer. A total of approximately 3.12 and 3.07 billion sequence reads were mapped to the bovine reference sequence assembly (UMD 3.1) at an average of approximately 10.71- and 10.53-fold coverage for Hanwoo and Yanbian cattle, respectively. A total of 17,936,399 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were yielded, of which 22.3% were found to be novel. By annotating the SNPs, we further retrieved numerous nonsynonymous SNPs that may be associated with traits of interest in cattle. Furthermore, we performed whole-genome screening to detect signatures of selection throughout the genome. We located several promising selective sweeps that are potentially responsible for economically important traits in cattle; the PPP1R12A gene is an example of a gene that potentially affects intramuscular fat content. These discoveries provide valuable genomic information regarding potential genomic markers that could predict traits of interest for breeding programs of these cattle breeds.

광식성 난방제 해충인 미국흰불나방(Hyphantria cunea)의 친환경 방제를 위한 바이러스 살충제의 소재 활용을 위해서 국내에서 분리된 미국흰불나방 핵다각체병바이러스(H. cunea nucleopolyhedrovirus W1: HycuNPV-W1)의 다각체 형태 및 전장 유전체 서열을 결정하고 분석하였다. HycuNPV-W1의 다각체는 1.5-2.2 um 크기의 사면체에 가까운 부정형으로 확인되었다. 전장 유전체의 염기서열을 결정한 결과, 기존에 보고된 HycuNPV와 비교할 때 1,606 bp 더 짧은 131,353 bp로 확인되었다. 그러나 G+C 함량은 45%였으며 상동반복영역은 6개로 기존에 보고된 HycuNPV와 차이는 확인할 수 없었다. ORF 분석에서는 HycuNPV-W1은 기존의 HycuNPV와 비교할 때 3개의 ORF가 더 적은 145개를 가졌으나, HycuNPV-W1에만 존재하는 2개의 ORF가 확인되었다. 이들 ORF의 기능은 현재까지 밝혀지지 않았으나 바이러스의 생물학적 특성에 큰 영향을 주지 않을 것으로 추정되었다. 유전체의 vista 분석 결과에서는 HycuNPV-W1과 기존 HycuNPV의 전체 염기서열 유사도가 매우 높은 것으로 확인되었다. 국내에서 처음으로 분석한 HycuNPV-W1의 전장 유전체는 기존의 HycuNPV와 매우 유사한 것으로 나타났으나, 독자적인 특성을 가진 서로 다른 분리주로 국내 고유자원임을 확인할 수 있었다.

Programmable nucleases, which include zinc-finger nucleases (ZFNs), transcription activator-like effector nucleases (TALENs), and RNA-guided engineered nucleases (RGENs) repurposed from the type II clustered, regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)-CRISPR-associated protein 9 (Cas9) system are now widely used for genome editing in higher eukaryotic cells and whole organisms, revolutionising almost every discipline in biological research, medicine, and biotechnology. All of these nucleases, however, induce off-target mutations at sites homologous in sequence with on-target sites, limiting their utility in many applications including gene or cell therapy. In this review, we compare methods for detecting nuclease off-target mutations. We also review methods for profiling genome-wide off-target effects and discuss how to reduce or avoid off-target mutations.

The aim of this study was to identify and characterize new Flammulina velutipes laccases from its whole-genome sequence. Of the 15 putative laccase genes detected in the F. velutipes genome, four new laccase genes (fvLac-1, fvLac-2, fvLac3, and fvLac-4) were found to contain four complete copper-binding regions (ten histidine residues and one cysteine residue) and four cysteine residues involved in forming disulfide bridges, fvLac-1, fvLac-2, fvLac3, and fvLac-4, encoding proteins consisting of 516, 518, 515, and 533 amino acid residues, respectively. Potential N-glycosylation sites (Asn-Xaa-Ser/Thr) were identified in the cDNA sequence of fvLac-1 (Asn-454), fvLac-2 (Asn-437 and Asn-455), fvLac-3 (Asn-111 and Asn-237), and fvLac4 (Asn-402 and Asn-457). In addition, the first 19~20 amino acid residues of these proteins were predicted to comprise signal peptides. Laccase activity assays and reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction analyses clearly reveal that $CuSO_4$ affects the induction and the transcription level of these laccase genes.
