많은 양의 유전자 정보가 유전공학의 발전과 Genome 프로젝트의 결과로 축적되고 있으며, 이러한 유전자 정보를 체계적으로 관리하고 가시화하기 위한 생물정보학 분야의 연구가 진행되고 있다. 기존의 많은 Genome Browser들이 완성된 형태의 툴로 서비스되고 있다. 이러한 툴들은 다목적의 많은 기능을 포함하고 있어 특정연구를 진행해야하는 연구자들은 너무 많은 정보로부터 원하는 것을 찾기 위해 시간과 노력이 필요하게 된다. 본 논문에서는 특정한 목적의 Gene 가시화 툴을 제작할 수 있는 Component Ware를 제안하고 이를 이용한 진화분석용 가시화 툴을 소개한다.

The novel coronavirus pandemic that has originated from China and spread throughout the world in three months. Genome of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) predecessor, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV) and Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) play an important role in understanding the concept of genetic variation. In this paper, the genomic data accessed from National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) through Molecular Evolutionary Genetic Analysis (MEGA) for statistical analysis. Firstly, the Bayesian information criterion (BIC) and Akaike information criterion (AICc) are used to evaluate the best substitution pattern. Secondly, the maximum likelihood method used to estimate of transition/transversions (R) through Kimura-2, Tamura-3, Hasegawa-Kishino-Yano, and Tamura-Nei nucleotide substitutions model. Thirdly and finally nucleotide frequencies computed based on genomic data of NCBI. The results indicate that general times reversible model has the lowest BIC and AICc score 347,394 and 347,287, respectively. The transition/transversions bias for nucleotide substitutions models varies from 0.56 to 0.59 in MEGA output. The average nitrogenous bases frequency of U, C, A, and G are 31.74, 19.48, 28.04, and 20.74, respectively in percentages. Overall the genomic data analysis of SARS-CoV-2, SARS-CoV, and MERS-CoV highlights the close genetic relationship.

방선균은 그램양성 토양 박테리아로서 항생제, 항암제, 항구충제, 면역억제제 등 유용한 2차 대사산물을 생산하는 유용 산업미생물이다. 비록 대부분의 방선균이 속해있는 스트렙토마이세스는 지난 수 십 년간 분자수준에서의 연구가 집중적으로 진행되어 왔으나, 최근에 분리된 잠재적 유용성을 갖는 스트렙토마이세스 이외의 희소방선균들은 유전자 조작시스템의 부재로 그 특성이 잘 규명되지 않고 있다. 본 연구에서는 독립적으로 분리된 180 여 방선균주들 중에서 희소방선균만을 선별하기 위하여 중합효소연쇄반응을 이용한 유전체 스크리닝 전략을 시도하였으며, 이 전략을 통하여 7종의 희소방선균을 성공적으로 분리하였다. 특히 여러 생리활성 테스트를 통하여, 항진균 및 항생제 활성을 띄는 잠재적 유용성이 높은 노카이디옵시스 균주 MMBL010을 선별하였다. 또한 전통적인 방선균 유전자 조작기법이 작동하지 않는 본 MMBL010 균주를 대장균 접합을 통한 유전자 전달 시스템도 최적화시킴으로써, 유전체 스크리닝을 통한 유용희소방선균의 선별 및 유전자 조작시스템 구축은 궁극적으로 희소방선균의 잠재적 유용성을 극대화시킬 수 있는 효율적인 전략으로 사료된다.

We have developed an efficient and precise method for genome manipulations in Bacillus subtilis that allows rapid alteration of a gene sequence or multiple gene sequences without altering the chromosome in any other way. In our approach, the Escherichia coli toxin gene mazF, which was used as a counter-selectable marker, was placed under the control of a xylose-inducible expression system and associated with an antibiotic resistance gene to create a "mazF-cassette". A polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-generated fragment, consisting of two homology regions joined to the mazF-cassette, was integrated into the chromosome at the target locus by homologous recombination, using positive selection for antibiotic resistance. Then, the excision of the mazF-cassette from the chromosome by a single-crossover event between two short directly repeated (DR) sequences, included in the design of the PCR products, was achieved by counter-selection of mazF. We used this method efficiently and precisely to deliver a point mutation, to inactivate a specific gene, to delete a large genomic region, and to generate the in-frame deletion with minimal polar effects in the same background.

This study aimed at constructing a draft genome of the adult female worm Toxocara canis using next-generation sequencing (NGS) and de novo assembly, as well as to find new genes after annotation using functional genomics tools. Using an NGS machine, we produced DNA read data of T. canis. The de novo assembly of the read data was performed using SOAPdenovo. RNA read data were assembled using Trinity. Structural annotation, homology search, functional annotation, classification of protein domains, and KEGG pathway analysis were carried out. Besides them, recently developed tools such as MAKER, PASA, Evidence Modeler, and Blast2GO were used. The scaffold DNA was obtained, the N50 was 108,950 bp, and the overall length was 341,776,187 bp. The N50 of the transcriptome was 940 bp, and its length was 53,046,952 bp. The GC content of the entire genome was 39.3%. The total number of genes was 20,178, and the total number of protein sequences was 22,358. Of the 22,358 protein sequences, 4,992 were newly observed in T. canis. Following proteins previously unknown were found: E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase cbl-b and antigen T-cell receptor, zeta chain for T-cell and B-cell regulation; endoprotease bli-4 for cuticle metabolism; mucin 12Ea and polymorphic mucin variant C6/1/40r2.1 for mucin production; tropomodulin-family protein and ryanodine receptor calcium release channels for muscle movement. We were able to find new hypothetical polypeptides sequences unique to T. canis, and the findings of this study are capable of serving as a basis for extending our biological understanding of T. canis.

Erwinia pyrifoliae is a Gram-negative bacterial plant pathogen that causes black shoot blight in apple and pear. Although earlier studies reported the genome comparison of Erwinia species, E. pyrifoliae strains for such analysis were isolated in 1996. In 2014, the strain E. pyrifoliae EpK1/15 was newly isolated in the apple tree showing black shoot blight in South Korea. This study aimed to better understand the similarities and differences caused by natural variations at the genomic level between newly isolated E. pyrifoliae EpK1/15 and the strain Ep1/96, which were isolated almost 20 years apart. Several comparative genomic analyses were conducted, and Clusters of Orthologous Groups of proteins (COG) database was used to classify functional annotation for each strain. E. pyrifoliae EpK1/15 had similarities with the Ep1/96 strain in stress-related genes, Tn3 transposase of insertion sequences, type III secretion systems, and small RNAs. The most remarkable difference to emerge from this comparison was that although the draft genome of E. pyrifoliae EpK1/15 was almost conserved, Epk1/15 strain had at least three sorts of structural variations in functional annotation according to COG database; chromosome inversion, translocation, and duplication. These results indicate that E. pyrifoliae species has gone natural variations within almost 20 years at the genomic level, and we can trace their similarities and differences with comparative genomic analysis.
