Genetic diversities, population genetic structures and demographic histories of the thread-sail filefish Stephanolepis cirrhifer were investigated by nucleotide sequencing of 336 base pairs of the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) control region in 111 individuals collected from six populations in Korean coastal waters. A total of 70 haplotypes were defined by 58 variable nucleotide sites. The neighbor-joining tree of the 70 haplotypes was shallow and did not provide evidence of geographical associations. Expansion of S. cirrhifer populations began approximate 51,000 to 102,000 years before present, correlating with the period of sea level rise since the late Pleistocene glacial maximum. High levels of haplotype diversities ($0.974{\pm}0.029$ to $1.000{\pm}0.076$) and nucleotide diversities (0.014 to 0.019), and low levels of genetic differentiation among populations inferred from pairwise population FST values (-0.007 to 0.107), support an expansion of the S. cirrhifer population. Hierarchical analysis of molecular variance (AMOVA) revealed weak but significant genetic structures among three groups ($F_{CT}$ = 0.028, p<0.05), and no genetic variation within groups (0.53%; $F_{SC}$ = 0.005, p = 0.23). These results may help establish appropriate fishery management strategies for stocks of S. cirrhifer and related species.

Native duck populations have lower productivity, and have not been developed as much as commercials duck breeds. However, native ducks have more importance in terms of genetic diversity and potentially valuable economic traits. For this reason, population discriminable genetic markers are needed for conservation and development of native ducks. In this study, 24 highly polymorphic microsatellite (MS) markers were investigated using commercial ducks and native East and South Asian ducks. The average polymorphic information content (PIC) value for all MS markers was 0.584, indicating high discrimination power. All populations were discriminated using 14 highly polymorphic MS markers by genetic distance and phylogenetic analysis. The results indicated that there were close genetic relationships among populations. In the structure analysis, East Asian ducks shared more haplotypes with commercial ducks than South Asian ducks, and they had more independent haplotypes than others did. These results will provide useful information for genetic diversity studies in ducks and for the development of duck traceability systems in the market.

Hibiscus hamabo (Malvaceae) is a deciduous shrub mainly found in northeast Asia, including China, Japan, and Korea. Due to its limited distribution on Jejudo Island and at several sites in Jeollanam-do in Korea, H. hamabo has been designated as an endangered species by the Ministry of the Environment and has been the subject of several restoration programs. In this study, we quantified genetic variations using double-digestion restriction-associated DNA sequencing technology in 96 individuals of H. hamabo from 13 distinct populations in Korea. We determined 3,352 genome-wide single nucleotide polymorphism loci after stringent filtering processes and analyzed the level of genetic variation within and among populations as well as the population differentiation and genetic ancestry with various assumptions pertaining to the population origin. Our results indicated weak differentiations among populations surveyed in this study but clearly suggested that most of the H. hamabo populations maintain a relatively high level of genetic diversity as evidence of frequent genetic exchanges among populations via outcrossing or sequential gene flows. For a more detailed analysis of the origin of Korean H. hamabo and its demographic history, it will be necessary to expand sampling in China and Japan.

국내 4개 지역으로부터 채집된 배추좀나방(Plutella xylostella)의 미토콘드리아 DNA중 COI 유전자 일부 (438 bp)의 염기서열을 결정, 유전적 다양도 및 유전자 이동정도를 파악함으로써 집단 유전적 구조 및 특성에 대하여 연구하였다. 총 21개체로부터 13개의 mtDNA haplotype을 얻었으며 이들의 변이는 0.3~1.4%로 다른 곤충을 대상으로 한 유사연구와 비슷한 크기를 나타내었으며 haplotype 다양도는 매우 높았다(평균 h=0.81). 지리적으로 먼 제주도의 개체군과 경남 김해 두 지역(11km 거리)의 개체군을 비교한 결과, 통계적으로 유의한 정도의 유전적 격리(p<0.05%)는 전혀 관찰되지 않았으며, 대신 상당한 정도의 세대당 암컷 이동률(Nm=2-30)을 보였다. 또한 GenBank에 등록된 하와이의 배추좀나방 haplotype은 본 연구에서 얻은 것들과 유전적으로 흡사하였다. 종합적으로, 국내 배추좀나방은 전체적으로는 많은 haplotype수에 기인한 적절한 크기의 유전적 분화율을 보유하고 있으며 국지적으로는 상당한 이동력에 의한 장거리 이동으로 개체군내 높은 haplotype 다양도를 보이며 동시에 지역간의 유전적 유사성을 나타낸다고 요약되었다.

한반도 남동부에 위치한 주왕산 국립공원과 그 인접산지는 식물 개체군의 유전자 이동에 대한 물리적 장벽의 영향을 시험하기 위한 훌륭한 모델 시스템이다. 우리는 식물종의 경우, 격리된 집단이 연속적인 분포를 보이는 집단보다 유전적인 분화 정도가 더 클 것으로 예측했다. 바위채송화 대부분의 집단은 4곳의 고립된 계곡에서 생육하며, 10개 집단에서 12 종류의 알로자임 유전좌위를 사용하여 유전적 다양성과 구조를 평가했다. 저자들은 이 연구와 기존 연구된 둥근잎꿩의비름(4곳 계곡에서 격리되어 생육)과 기린초(상대적으로 연속적으로 분포) 결과와 비교했다. 우리는 기린초 집단내 유전적 변이가 중간 수준임을 발견했다($H_e=0.112$). 바위채송화 집단간 분기 수준도 중간 수준($F_{ST}=0.250$)이었고 예상대로 둥근잎꿩의비름(0.261)과 유사했지만 기린초(0.165)보다 상당히 높았다. 분자분산분석(AMOVA) 결과 바위채송화와 둥근잎꿩의비름은 기린초(4%)보다 계곡간 변이(각각 19%) 비율이 높았다. STRUCTURE 프로그램 분석에 의하면 대부분의 이런 변이는 중간에 있는 두 계곡간의 유전적 조성 차이 때문이다. 저자들은 종간에 관찰된 분화 수준의 차이(즉, 기린초 대 바위채송화와 둥근잎꿩의비름)는 연구 지역 내의 그들의 분포 차이에 기인한다고 결론지었다.

The null pigmentation mutant (npgA1) of Aspergillus nidulans was previously characterized by its production of no pigment at any stage of its life cycle, its reduction in hyphal branching, and its delay in the asexual spore development. The chemical composition of the cell wall was also altered in npgA1 mutants that became more sensitive to Novozyme 234$\^$TM/, which is possibly due to a structural defect in the cell wall. To investigate the effects of the cell wall structure on these pleiomorphic phenomena, we examined the ultrastructure of the cell wall in the npgA1 mutant (WX17). Scanning electron micrographs (SEM) showed that after being cultured for six days, the outermost layer of the conidial wall of WX17 peeled off. Although this phenotype suggested that the cell wall structure in WX17 may be modified, examination using TEM of the fine structure of cross-sectioned hyphal wall of WX17 did not show any differences from that of FGSC4. However, staining for carbohydrates of wall layers showed that the electron-translucent layer of the cell wall was missing in WX17. In addition, the outermost layer H1 of the hyphal wall was also absent in WX17. The ultrastructural observation and cytochemical analysis of cell walls suggested that the pigmentation defect in WX17 may be attributed to the lack of a layer in the cell wall.

Prostate adenocarcinoma is one of the leading causes of cancer related mortality in men but still limited knowledge is available about its associated functional SNPs including rs1042522 (Pro72Arg). The present study was undertaken to explore the association of this SNP with susceptibility to prostate adenocarcinoma along with its structural and functional impacts in the Pakistani population in a case-control study. Three-dimensional structure of human TP53 with Pro72Arg polymorphism was predicted through homology modeling, refined and validated for detailed structure-based assessment. We also carried out a HuGE review of the previous available data for this polymorphism. Different genetic models were used to evaluate the genotypes association with the increased risk of PCa (Allelic contrast: OR=0.0.34, 95%CI 0.24-0.50, p=0.000; GG vs CC: OR=0.17, 95%CI 0.08-0.38, p=0.000; Homozygous: OR=0.08, 95%CI 0.04-0.15, p=0.000; GC vs CC: OR=2.14, 95%CI 1.01-4.51, p=0.046; Recessive model: OR=0.10, 95%CI 0.05-0.18, p=0.000; Log Additive: OR=3.54, 95%CI 2.13-5.89, p=0.000) except the Dominant model (OR=0.77, 95%CI 0.39-1.52, p=0.46). Structure and functional analysis revealed that the SNP in the proline rich domain is responsible for interaction with HRMT1L2 and WWOX. In conclusion, it was observed that the Arg coding G allele is highly associated with increased risk of prostate adenocarcinoma in the Pakistani population (p=0.000).

Seismic retrofitting of existing buildings and design of earth-quake resistant buildings are important issues associated with earthquake-prone zones. Use of metallic-yielding dampers as an energy dissipation system is an acceptable method for controlling damages in structures and improving their seismic performance. In this study, the optimal distribution of dampers for reducing the seismic response of steel frames with multi-degrees freedom is presented utilizing the uniform distribution of deformations. This has been done in a way that, the final configuration of dampers in the frames lead to minimum weight while satisfying the performance criteria. It is shown that such a structure has an optimum seismic performance, in which the maximum structure capacity is used. Then the genetic algorithm which is an evolutionary optimization method is used for optimal arrangement of the steel dampers in the structure. In continuation for specifying the optimal accurate response, the local search algorithm based on the gradient concept has been selected. In this research the introduced optimization methods are used for optimal retrofitting in the moment-resisting frame with inelastic behavior and initial weakness in design. Ultimately the optimal configuration of dampers over the height of building specified and by comparing the results of the uniform deformation method with those of the genetic algorithm, the validity of the uniform deformation method in terms of accuracy, Time Speed Optimization and the simplicity of the theory have been proven.
