이 연구에서는 대규모 병렬형 염기서열 분석 (massively parallel sequencing)에 적용할 샷건 라이브러리 (shotgun library)를 성공적으로 제작하기 위해 두 가지 유형의 고대 DNA (ancient DNA, aDNA) 분리 방법을 비교하였다. 헝가리 선사 시대 늑골 뼈 시료로 실리카 현탁액을 이용한 추출법과 Amicon Ultracel-15 10K 초원심 분리 장치(Millipore)를 이용한 추출법을 비교하였다. 약 150 mg의 뼛가루에서 각각의 방법으로 3 회 반복 추출한 후 이중 가닥 DNA (double stranded DNA, ds DNA)의 양을 측정하였다. 초원심분리 농축 방법은 실리카 현탁액을 사용하는 것보다 더 빠르고, 더 쉬운 공정이며 약 11 배 높은 DNA 회수율을 나타냈다. 또한 초원심 분리 장치로 획득한 DNA 주형은 실리카 현탁액으로 획득한 것보다 샷건 라이브러리가 훨씬 성공적으로 만들어졌다. 두 종류의 aDNA 추출 방법을 비교한 본 연구는 Amicon 장치를 사용하는 분리법이 시간의 절약, 단순한 프로세스 및 높은 효율 등의 장점을 지니고 있음을 보여주었다.

Analysis of ancient DNA (aDNA) extracted from Ascaris is very important for understanding the phylogenetic lineage of the parasite species. When aDNAs obtained from a Joseon tomb (SN2-19-1) coprolite in which Ascaris eggs were identified were amplified with primers for cytochrome b (cyt b) and 18S small subunit ribosomal RNA (18S rRNA) gene, the outcome exhibited Ascaris specific amplicon bands. By cloning, sequencing, and analysis of the amplified DNA, we obtained information valuable for comprehending genetic lineage of Ascaris prevalent among pre-modern Joseon peoples.

고고유전학은 고DNA에 대한 분석을 고고학 및 인류학적 증거와 교차검증함으로써 인류사에 대한 과학적인 사실을 정립하고자 하는 학문이다. 30여 년 전 시작된 고DNA 연구는 급격하게 발전하여 최근 10년간은 전장유전체의 염기서열을 분석하는 고유전체 연구로 그 범위를 확장하였다. 이를 통해 고인류 종들과 현생 인류 고대 집단들의 기원 및 이주 패턴들을 진화유전학적으로 엄밀하게 연구하는 것이 가능해졌다. 본 연구에서는 고고유전학의 전반적인 분석 원리와 최근의 고유전체 연구 성과 및 경향을 검토하였다. 시료 채취 기술 및 통계 분석 방법의 발전, 고인류 및 서유라시아 고대 집단들의 고유전체 연구들을 통해 정립된 연구 방법들은 현재 다른 지역들에도 활발하게 적용되고 있는 추세다. 그러나 한반도를 포함한 동아시아 고유전체 연구는 아직 부진한 실정이다. 본 연구를 통해 아직 수행된 바 없는 한반도 고유전체 연구가 진행될 시 어떠한 사실들을 밝힐 수 있는지 그 가능성을 전망하고자 한다.

Ancient cattle bones were excavated from archaeological sites in Jeju, Korea. We used molecular genetic techniques to identify the species and establish its relationship to extant cattle breeds. Ancient DNA was extracted from four sources: a humerus (Gonae site, A.D. 700-800), two fragments of radius, and a tooth (Kwakji site, A.D. 0-900). The mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) D-loop regions were cloned, sequenced, and compared with previously reported sequences of various cattle breeds (9 Asian, 8 European, and 3 African). The results revealed that these bones were of the breed, Bos taurus, and a phylogenetic tree indicated that the four cattle bones formed a monophyletic group with Jeju native black cattle. However, the patterns of sequence variation and reports from archaeological sites suggest that a few wild cattle, with a different maternal lineage, may have existed on Jeju Island. Our results will contribute to further studies of the origin of Jeju native cattle and the possible existence of local wild cattle.

유적지에서 발굴되는 조선시대 인골은 보존 상태가 대부분 양호하여 형질인류학, 유전학, 그리고 화학적 연구를 수행할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 김포 장기동 유적지에서 발굴된 조선시대 인골 6개체에 대한 DNA 분석을 통하여 미토콘드리아 DNA 변이형을 결정하였으며, 성별 분석결과를 토대로 남성 피장자의 Y 하플로그룹을 동정하였다. 유전자 분석에 앞서 보존상태가 양호한 것으로 판단되는 인골 6구를 대상으로 조직학 지수를 판별하였다. 미토콘드리아 DNA 변이형은 아시아인에서 높은 빈도로 나타나는 G, R11, M7, A5 등의 하플로그룹이 확인되었다. 인골의 성별을 확인하기 위하여 아밀로제닌 유전자 분석을 수행한 결과, 6구의 인골에서 여성 4구와 남성 2구의 성별을 확인할 수 있었다. 남성으로 판명된 인골에 Y 염색체 단일염기다형성 분석을 적용해본 결과, 하플로그룹 O로 확인되었다. 향후 출토 인골의 광범위한 분석을 위하여 인골을 선별한 경우에는 본 연구에서 제시한 조직학 지수를 적용하고, 미토콘드리아 DNA와 핵 DNA의 다양한 분석을 병행하여 출토 인골간의 유연관계를 규명하는 것이 필요하다.

The ancient biomolecular remains are the potential source for paleobiology and paleoanthropology. Especially, ancient human specimens such as bone, teeth, and hair are powerful materials to identify historical origin and migration of ancestor population from the past. However, most excavated human specimens in archaeological sites have commonly problems as natural damage and exogenous contamination. We carried out histological and molecular analyses of excavated bone from the historic sites in South Korea from the recently discovered in tumulus of Seochun and Naju. Biological deterioration of bone was observed anatomically by optical and scanning electron microscope (SEM). We extracted degraded DNA, and amplified hyper variable region (HVR) of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) and amelogenin of nucleus DNA. This study applied and examined the relationships between histological preservation and DNA survival in excavated bone.

It has not been a long time since we recognize that a word 'DNA' is not unfamiliar with us. Development of biology give us so much of benefits of civilization and so we call the 21th century as 'biological period'. It has not been a long time that archeology made contact with biology. With biological development, DNA typing analysis has been accomplished extensively since 1990's. We know through mitochondrial DNA base sequencing analysis that the Neanderthal man is not the origin of the human race and ancient human race set out from Africa. Biological science technology, which is polymerase chain reaction(PCR) or electrophoresis etc., made these results possible. A contact between biology, especially genetics, and archeology is getting accomplished through these current. If genetics keep in contact with archeological foundation, we know not only about ancient populations in the Korean Peninsula, but also origin of human race. This field is so-called 'DNA Archeology'. This field is of help to person identification and children discrimination as like a forensic science. We make every effort for great possibilities from co-ownership of these two fields and these fields needs to convert a recognition, especially.

From ancient Antarctic glacier ice, we extracted total genomic DNA that was suitable for prokaryotic 16S rDNA gene cloning and sequencing, and bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) library and end-sequencing. The ice samples were from the Dry Valley region. Age dating by $^{40}Ar/^{39}Ar$ analysis on the volcanic ashes deposited in situ indicated the ice samples are minimum 100,000-300,000 yr (sample DLE) and 8 million years (sample EME) old. Further assay proved the ice survived freeze-thaw cycles or other re-working processes. EME, which was from a small lobe of the basal Taylor glacier, is the oldest known ice on Earth. Microorganisms, preserved frozen in glacier ice and isolated from the rest of the world over a geological time scale, can provide valuable data or insight for the diversity, distribution, survival strategy, and evolutionary relationships to the extant relatives. From the 16S gene cloning study, we detected no PCR amplicons with Archaea-specific primers, however we found many phylotypes belonging to Bacteria divisions, such as Actinobacteria, Acidobacteria, Proteobacteria $({\alpha},\;{\beta},\;and\;{\gamma})$, Firmicutes, and Cytophaga-Flavobacterium-Bacteroid$. BAC cloning and sequencing revealed protein codings highly identical to phenylacetic acid degradation protein paaA, chromosome segregation ATPases, or cold shock protein B of present day bacteria. Throughput sequencing of the BAC clones is underway. Viable and culturable cells were recovered from the DLE sample, and characterized by their 16S rDNA sequences. Further investigation on the survivorship and functional genes from the past should help unveil the evolution of life on Earth, or elsewhere, if any.

Lactase non-persistence (LNP), one of the causes of lactose intolerance, is related to lactase gene associated single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). Since the frequency of LNP varies by ethnic group and country, the research to reveal the presence or absence of LNP for specific people has been conducted worldwide. However, in East Asia, the study of lactase gene associated SNPs have not been sufficiently examined so far using ancient human specimens from archaeological sites. In our study of Joseon period human remains (n=14), we successfully revealed genetic information of lactase gene associated SNPs (rs1679771596, rs41525747, rs4988236, rs4988235, rs41380347, rs869051967, rs145946881 and rs182549), further confirming that as for eight SNPs, the pre-modern Korean people had a lactase non-persistent genotype. Our report contributes to the establishment of LNP associated SNP analysis technique that can be useful in forthcoming studies on human bones and mummy samples from East Asian archaeological sites.
