본 연구는 남조세균 흔들말목(Cyanobacteria, Oscillatoriales)의 16S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) 및 RNA polymerase beta subunit(rpoB) 유전자를 대상으로 염기서열 변이 및 분자계통학적 특성을 분석한 것이다. 흔들말목 rpoB 유전자는 16S rRNA보다 유전자 변이(유전거리: rpoB=0.270, 16S=0.109)가 큰 것으로 조사되었으며, 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 보였다(Student t-test, p<0.001). 흔들말목 16S rRNA와 rpoB의 계통분석에서 유사한 계통 분지형태를 보였으며, rpoB 유전자가 높은 해상도를 갖고 있어 흔들말목 분류군을 더 명확하게 구분하였다. 또한, parsimony 분석을 통해 rpoB 유전자가 16S rRNA 보다 2.40배 빠르게 진화하는 것으로 파악되었다. 본 연구결과는 rpoB 유전자가 흔들말목의 분자계통 및 종 분류 연구에 매우 유용하다는 것을 제시해 준다.

To determine phylogenetic relatedness of four silk-producing silkmoths (B. mori, B. mandarina, A. yamamai and A. pernyi), internal coding region of arylphorin which is a storage protein in hemolymph protein of insects were amplified by polymerase chain reaction and then sequenced and compared each other. The nucleotide composition was biased toward adenine and thymine(59% A+T) and a strong bias for use of C in the third position of codons was found for Phe and Tyr. Together TTC(Phe) and TAC(Tyr) account for about 16.8% (10 for TTC and 8 for TAC) of all codon usage. The nucleotide similarity of arylphorin gene from B. mori showed 99%, 98% and 97% homology with those of B. mandarina, A. yamamai and A. pernyi, respectively. Also, the nucleotide sequence of arylphorin gene from B. mandarina showed 98% and 97% homology with those of A. yamamai and A.pernyi, respectively. Between A. yamamai and A. pernyi, the sequence homology was 97%. The deduced amino acid sequences in B. mori, B. mandarina and A. yamamai showed almost 99% homology. Although the aryphorin gene provided insufficient variability among the four insect species, A UPGMA tree is generated that supported the monophyly of silk-producing insects, with M. sexta placed basal to it. It is suggest that silk-producing insects have a close relationship and a homogeneous genetic background from comparison with those of other insects.

The VP2 full gene of Korean infectious bursal disease virus(IBDV) strain, SH/92, three attenuated vaccine strains, Bur706, Bursine-2 and CEV/AC strains, were amplified by reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction and sequenced and compared with published VP2 gene sequences of IBDVs. The VP2 nucleotide sequence similarity between SH/92 and three vaccine stains was 95.6~96.5% whereas the nucleic acid similarity among three vaccine strains was 97.5~98.5%. The amino acid sequence similarity of VP2 of SH/92 compared with three vaccine strains was between 94.4 and 97.6% while the amino acid similarity among three vaccine strains was between 97.4 and 98.4%. The amino acid similarity between SH/92 and classical virulent strain, 52/70 and STC strain was 96.4 and 96.5%, respectively. The serine-rich heptapeptide was conserved in CEVAC and Bursine-2 as well as SH/92 but not in Bur706. The phylogenetic tree developed from amino acid sequences showed that SH/92 was categorized with vv IBDVs(HK46, OKYM, KKI, UPM94/273, SH95) in one branch while three vaccine strains were catagorized with STC strain in the other branch.

Attributable to their major function in pathogen recognition, the use of bovine leukocyte antigens (BoLA) as disease markers in immunological traits in cattle is well established. However, limited report exists on polymorphism of the BoLA gene in zebu cattle breeds by high resolution typing methods. Thus, we used a polymerase chain reaction sequence-based typing (PCR-SBT) method to sequence exon 2 of the BoLA class II DRB3 gene from 100 animals (Boran, n = 13; Sheko, n = 20; Fogera, n = 16; Horro, n = 19), Hanwoo cattle (n = 18) and Bangladesh Red Chittagong zebu (n = 14). Out of the 59 detected alleles, 43 were already deposited under the Immuno Polymorphism Database for major histocompatibility complex (IPD-MHC) while 16 were unique to this study. Assessment of the level of genetic variability at the population and sequence levels with genetic distance in the breeds considered in this study showed that Zebu breeds had a gene diversity score greater than 0.752, nucleotide diversity score greater than 0.152, and mean number of pairwise differences higher than 14, being very comparable to those investigated for other cattle breeds. Regarding neutrality tests analyzed, we investigated that all the breeds except Hanwoo had an excess number of alleles and could be expected from a recent population expansion or genetic hitchhiking. Howbeit, the observed heterozygosity was not significantly (p < 0.05) higher than the expected heterozygosity. The Hardy Weinberg equilibrium (HWE) analysis revealed non-significant excess of heterozygote animals, indicative of plausible over-dominant selection. The pairwise FST values suggested a low genetic variation among all the breeds (FST = 0.056; p < 0.05), besides the rooting from the evolutionary or domestication history of the cattle. No detached clade was observed in the evolutionary divergence study of the BoLA-DRB3 gene, inferred from the phylogenetic tree based on the maximum likelihood model. The investigation herein indicated the clear differences in BoLA-DRB3 gene variability between African and Asian cattle breeds.

Eucalyptus is one of the major plantation species with wide variety of industrial uses. Polymorphic and informative simple sequence repeats (SSRs) have broad range of applications in genetic analysis. In this study, two individuals of Eucalyptus tereticornis (ET217 and ET86), one individual each from E. camaldulensis (EC17) and E. grandis (EG9) were subjected to whole genome resequencing. Low coverage (10×) genome sequencing was used to find polymorphic SSRs between the individuals. Average number of SSR loci identified was 95,513 and the density of SSRs per Mb was from 157.39 in EG9 to 155.08 in EC17. Among all the SSRs detected, the most abundant repeat motifs were di-nucleotide (59.6%-62.5%), followed by tri- (23.7%-27.2%), tetra- (5.2%-5.6%), penta- (5.0%-5.3%), and hexa-nucleotide (2.7%-2.9%). The predominant SSR motif units were AG/CT and AAG/TTC. Computational genome analysis predicted the SSR length variations between the individuals and identified the gene functions of SSR containing sequences. Selected subset of polymorphic markers was validated in a full-sib family of eucalypts. Additionally, genome-wide characterization of single nucleotide polymorphisms, InDels and transcriptional regulators were carried out. These variations will find their utility in genome-wide association studies as well as understanding of molecular mechanisms involved in key economic traits. The genomic resources generated in this study would provide an impetus to integrate genomics in marker-trait associations and breeding of tropical eucalypts.

LSU rDNA D1-D2 and SSU rDNA genes of 23 strains in seven Alexandrium (Halim) species, A. tamarense (Lebour) Balech, A. catenella (Whedon et Kofoid), A. fraterculus (Balech) Balech, A. affine (Inoue et Fukuyo) Balech, A. insuetum Balech, A. pseudogonyaulax (Biecheler) Horiguchi ex Yuki et Fukuyo and A. tamiyavanichii Balech, were sequenced and the data were used for molecular phylogenetic analysis. The sequence data revealed 11 and 7 ribotypes in the LSU rDNA D1-D2 region and 4 and 17 ribotypes in the SSU rDNA region of A. catenella and A. tamarense, respectively. Other Alexandrium species had also 1 to 5 ribotypes in the two regions. With the exception of CMC2 and CMC3 of A. catenella, all A. tamarense and A. catenella strains had a common ribotype, a functionally expressed rRNA gene (here termed type A), in both gene regions. In addition to the functionally expressed gene, several pseudogenes were obtained that were found to be good tools to analyze the population designation of regional isolates by grouping them according to shared ribotypes. From the phylogenetic analysis of the sequence data determined in this study and retrieved from GenBank, the genus Alexandrium was divided into 14 groups: 1) A. tamarense, 2) A. excavatum, 3) A. catenella, 4) Tasmanian A. tamarense, 5) A. affine (and/or A. concavum), 6) Thai A. tamarense, 7) A. tamiyavanichii, 8) A. fraterculus, 9) A. margalefii, 10) A. andersonii, 11) A. ostenfeldii, 12) A. minutum (or A. lusitanicum), 13) A. insuetum, and 14) A. pseudogonyaulax. The SSU rDNA gene sequence of A. fundyense was so similar to those of A. tamarense used in this study that the two species were difficult to discriminate each other. A. tamiyavanichii was closest to the A. tamarense strain isolated in Thailand and close to the long chain-forming species of A. affine and A. fraterculus. The phylogenetic tree showed that A. margalefii, A. andersonii, A. ostenfeldii, A. minutum and A. insuetum constituted the basal relative complex, and that A. pseudogonyaulax is an ancestral taxon in the genus Alexandrium.

엽록체 matK 유전자와 핵 ITS 염기서열을 이용하여 나도풍란속 및 풍란속의 계통학적 위치를 정립하였다. 또한, 이들 마커를 이용하여 종 및 원산지 추적에 활용가능성을 평가하였다. 풍란속과 나도풍란속은 두 마커 모두에서 뚜렷한 단계통군을 형성하였다. 풍란속의 자매군은 Vanda임이 두 마커 모두에서 입증되었으나,본 연구 결과는 풍란속을 Vanda에 포함시키는 처리에는 동의하지 않았다. 나도풍란속은 (Dimorphorchis (Pteroceras (Saccolabiun+Phalaeonopsis))) 계통군과 자매군을 형성하였고, 이중 Dimorphorchis와 자매속일 가능성이 가장 높았다. 형태적 유사성으로 나도풍란속이 Aerides와 자매속이라는 주장의 가능성은 희박하였다. 두 마커를 분석한 결과 풍란속의 경우 종 및 종 내의 산지별 구별이 가능한 것으로 평가되었다. 따라서 풍란의 재배 개체들의 기원을 규명하는데도 유용한 것으로 평가되었다. 그러나, 공공 염기서열 DB에 있는 서열들은 의유전자로 추정되는 서열들을 다수 포함하고 있었다. 또한, 재배 난과식물에는 속간 및 종간 잡종이 많으며 잡종에 의한 수평적 유전자 이동문제 등이 결부되어 있으므로, 계통학적으로 염기서열 자료를 이용하는데 주의하여야 한다. 계통분석을 위하여는 한 종 내의 여러 개체로부터 염기서열을 확보하는 것이 이러한 위험성을 줄이는 방법 중에 하나이다.

This study characterizes three $Anabaena$ strains and 5 $Trichormus$ strains isolated from Korean waters and 3 $Anabaena$ $flos-aquae$ strains procured from the UTEX based on morphological features and molecular analyses. The $Anabaena$ and $Trichormus$ isolates were morphologically assigned to $A.$ $variabilis$ K$\ddot{u}$tzing and $T.$ $variabilis$(K$\ddot{u}$tzing ex Bornet et Flahault) Kom$\acute{a}$rek et Anagnostidis, respectively. The $Anabaena$ and $Trichormus$ strains differed significantly in the mean length of their vegetative cells. The 16S rRNA genes from the $Anabaena$ strains showed a 100% identity to that from $A.$ $variabilis$ ATCC 29413, while the 16S rRNA genes from the $Trichormus$ strains showed a 99.9% identity to that from $T.$ $variabilis$ GREIFSWALD. The overall topology was in agreement for the 16S rRNA gene and $cpcBA$-IGS trees in the both tree-constructing methods. In a neighbor-joining tree based on the 16S rRNA gene, the 3 $Anabaena$ strains were asso-ciated with $A.$ $variabilis$, the 5 $Trichormus$ strains with $T.$ $variabilis$, and the 3 $Anabaena$ (UTEX) strains were with $Nostoc$. To date, this is the first report on $A.$ $variabilis$ and $T.$ $variabilis$ strains originating from Korea.
