EBV-transformed lymphoblastoid cell lines (LCLs) are used as a resource for human genetic, immunological, and pharmacogenomic studies. We investigated the biological activity of 20 LCL strains during continuous long-term subculture up to a passage number of 160. Out of 20 LCL strains, 17 proliferated up to a passage number of 160, at which point LCLs are generally considered as "immortalized". The other three LCL strains lost the ability to proliferate at an average passage number of 41, during which these LCLs may have undergone cellular crisis. These non-immortal LCL strains exhibited no telomerase activity, decreased EBV gene expression, and a lower copy number of the EBV genome and mitochondrial DNA when compared with immortal LCLs. Thus, this study suggests that sustained EBV viral activity as well as telomerase activity may be required for complete LCL immortalization.

The first complete mitogenome sequence of the Red-tongue Pit Viper (Gloydius ussuriensis) from Korea was characterized using next-generation sequencing. The mitogenome is a circular molecule (17,209 bp) with a typical vertebrate mitogenome arrangement, which consists of 2 ribosomal RNA genes (rRNA), 22 transfer RNA genes (tRNA), two non-coding regions (D-loop), and 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs). The base composition of the mitogenome is 32.7% of A, 27.5% of C, 13.9% of G, and 25.9% of T, with a slight AT bias(58.6%). This phylogenetic analysis infers that G. ussuriensis is in the same group as the Chinese G. ussuriensis (Accession No. KP262412) and is closely related to G. blomhoffi and other species of the genus Gloydius. In our study, the complete mitogenome sequence of Korean G. ussuriensis was characterized and we provided basic genetic information on this species.

Objective: In Japan, approximately 50 breeds of indigenous domestic chicken, called Japanese native chickens (JNCs), have been developed. JNCs gradually became established based on three major original groups, "Jidori", "Shoukoku", and "Shamo". Tosa-Jidori is a breed of Jidori, and archival records as well as its morphologically primitive characters suggest an ancient origin. Although Jidori is thought to have been introduced from East Asia, a previous study based on mitochondrial D-loop sequences demonstrated that Tosa-Jidori belongs to haplogroup D, which is abundant in Southeast Asia but rare in other regions, and a Southeast Asian origin for Tosa-Jidori was therefore suggested. The relatively small size of the D-loop region offers limited resolution in comparison with mitogenome phylogeny. This study was conducted to determine the phylogenetic position of the Tosa-Jidori breed based on complete mitochondrial D-loop and mitogenome sequences, and to clarify its evolutionary relationships, possible maternal origin and routes of introduction into Japan. Methods: Maximum likelihood and parsimony trees were based on 133 chickens and consisted of 86 mitogenome sequences as well as 47 D-loop sequences. Results: This is the first report of the complete mitogenome not only for the Tosa-Jidori breed, but also for a member of one of the three major original groups of JNCs. Our phylogenetic analysis based on D-loop and mitogenome sequences suggests that Tosa-Jidori individuals characterized in this study belong to the haplogroup D as well as the sub-haplogroup E1. Conclusion: The sub-haplogroup E1 is relatively common in East Asia, and so although the Southeast Asian origin hypothesis cannot be rejected, East Asia is another possible origin of Tosa-Jidori. This study highlights the complicated origin and breeding history of Tosa-Jidori and other JNC breeds.

Duroc 품종은 돼지 사육에 있어 산육성과 육질 향상을 위해 이용되고 있다. 본 연구는 육종에 많이 이용되는 Duroc 품종의 모계 특이적인 서열의 검색과 계통유전학적 유연관계의 정립을 위하여 미토콘드리아 유전체의 전체 염기서열을 결정하고 집단 내 다형성을 조사하였다. mtDNA 전체 서열의 길이는 16,584-bp 이고, D-loop과 tRNA, rRNA 유전자 영역에서는 삽입/결실이 확인되었다. 4개의 coding gene (COⅡ, COⅢ, ND3, ND4)에서 불완전한 종결코돈을, ND4L과 ND2 유전자는 선택적 개시코돈 양상을 보였다. Duroc 집단에 대한 분석 결과 조절영역에서의 특이적인 11-bp 중복 단위가 일부 개체(15.2%)에서 발견되었고, ND2의 개시코돈과 CYTB 유전자에서도 다형현상을 보였다. 각각의 유전자 영역에서의 다형성은 서로 연관되어 있었고, 그 결과 Duroc 집단은 크게 두 가지 haplotype으로 구분되었다. 계통수에서 Duroc mtDNA 서열은 유럽계열 cluster에 위치하였으나, haplotype 분석과 기존에 연구결과들을 종합해 보면 Duroc 품종은 여러 모계선조 집단에서 기원한 것으로 보이며, 유럽과 아시아 계열 모두가 품종 형성에 이용된 것으로 사료된다된 것으로 사료된다.

양태과는 경제적으로 중요한 저서성 바닷물고기로써 인도태평양과 지중해의 열대 또는 온대지역의 하구역에 서식한다. 이번 연구에서 우리는 차세대염기서열분석법을 이용하여 flathead의 일종인 Platycephalus cultellatus Richardson, 1846의 전장 미토콘드리아 유전체를 최초로 분석하였다. 그 총 길이는 16,641 bp이었고, 단백질암호화 유전자 13개, 리보솜 RNA 유전자 2개, 전량 RNA 유전자 22개로 구성되었다. 그 유전자의 구성과 배열은 전형적인 척추동물과 같았다. 단백질암호화 유전자 13개를 바탕으로 작성된 분자계통수에서 P. cultellatus는 같은 과에 속하는 종들과 단계통군을 형성하였고, P. indicus를 비롯하여 Platycephalus sp.로 등록된 표본들과 함께 분기하였다. 또한 DNA 바코딩 분자마커로 널리 사용되는 cox1 유전자를 바탕으로 작성된 분자계통수에서 우리의 표본은 같은 종에 속하는 표본들과 단계통군을 형성하여 그 분류학적 위치가 명확하게 밝혀졌다. 이번 연구에서 새롭게 분석된 P. cultellatus의 미토콘드리아 유전체는 이후 flatheads의 분류와 분자계통을 위한 중요한 기초정보로 활용될 것이다.

The larvae of Chaoborus are widely distributed in lakes, ponds, and reservoirs. These omnivorous Chaoborus larvae are crucial predators and play a role in structuring zooplankton communities, especially for small-sized prey. Larvae of Chaoborus are commonly known to produce predator-induced polyphenism in Daphnia sp. Nevertheless, their taxonomy and molecular phylogeny are very poorly understood. As a fundamental study for understanding the role of Chaoborus in predator-prey interactions in a freshwater ecosystem, the molecular identification and phylogenetic relationship of Chaoborus were analyzed in this study. A molecular comparison based on partial mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase I (COI) between species in Chaoborus was carried out for the identification of Chaoborus larvae collected from 2 localities in Korea. According to the results, the Chaoborus species examined here was identified as C. flavicans, which is a lake-dwelling species. Furthermore, partial mitochondrial genome including COI, COII, ATP6, ATP8, COIII, and ND3 were also newly sequenced from the species and concatenated 5 gene sequences excluding ATP8 with another 9 dipteran species were compared to examine phylogenetic relationships of C. flavicans. The results suggested that Chaoborus was more related to the Ceratopogonidae than to the Culicidae. Further analysis based on complete mitochondrial DNA sequences and nuclear gene sequences will provide a more robust validation of the phylogenetic relationships of Chaoborus within dipteran lineages.
