This study was aimed at testing the gene expression of antioxidant enzymes and apoptosis genes for in vitro culture in porcine embryos produced by in vitro maturation/in vitro fertilization (IVM/IVF). Pocine preimplantation embryos obtainted from IVM/IVF can be successfully culture in vitro, but they are delayed or stop to develop at specific developmental stage. Many factors such as reactive oxygen species and apoptosis in an IVM/IVF system followed by in vitro culture influence the rate of production of viable blastocysts. Porcine embryos derived from IVM/IVF were cultured in the atmosphere of 5% $CO_2$ and 20% $O_2$ at $38.5^{\circ}C$ in NCSU23 medium. The patterns of gene expression for antioxidant enzymes and apoptosis genes during in vitro culture in pocine IVM/IVF embryos were examined by the modified semi-quantitative single cell reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Porcine embryos produced by in vitro procedures were expressed mRNAs for CuZn-SOD, GAPDH and GPX, whereas transcripts for Mn-SOD and catalase were not detected at any developmental stages. Expression of caspase-3 mRNA was detected at 2 cell, 8 cell 16 cell and blastocyst, but p53 mRNA was not detected at any stages. The fas transcripts was only detected in blastocyst stage. These results suggest that various antioxidant enzymes and apoptosis genes play crucial roles in vitro culture of porcine IVM/IVF embryos.

본 연구에서는 Lactobacillus crispatus KLB46의 genomic DNA를 빠르고, 간단하게 소량 (3 mL)의 배양액에서부터 추출하는 방법을 확립하였다. 이 방법을 이용하여 L. crispatus KLB46로부터 total genomic DNA를 분리한후 peR과 제한효 소처리를 하여 전기영동으로 확인하였다. 질의 정상세균총을 이루고 병원성균의 증식을 억제하는 그램양성균인 L. crispatus KLB46의 genomic DNA의 신속한 추출방법은 이 균주의 유 전공학연구에 유용하게 사용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

우리 나라의 주요 고추 재배지와 미국, 대만, 호주, 아르헨티나에서 수집된 44 개 고추 더뎅이병균(Xanthomonas campestris pv. vesicatoria)균주간의 유전적변이를 genomic DNA의 restriction fragment length polymorphism(RFLP)에 의해 분석하였다. Genomic DNA RFLP profiles을 cluster 분석하여 얻은 dendrogram에서 지리적 기원이 다른 44개 균주들은 11개 RFLP 그룹으로 분류되었다. 외국 균주들은 genomic DNA의 RFLP 분석에 의해 모두 각각 다른 RFLP 그룹으로 분류되었다. 외국 균주들 중에서 미국 균주는 우리 나라 일부 균주들과 밀접한 유전적 관련성을 가지고 함께 cluster를 이루었는데, 이것은 이 균주들이 동일한 고추 더뎅이병균의 조상 균주 집단에서 유래했으리라는 것을 시사해 준다. 우리 나라 균주들은 6개의 RFLP 그룹으로 분류되었다. 대부분의 우리 나라 균주들은 가까운 cluster를 이루며 미국 균주를 제외한 외국 균주들과 뚜렷하게 구분되었다. 그러나 우리 나라 균주들 중에서 마산에서 수집된 Ms93-1은 다른 우리 나라 균주들과 뚜렷하게 구분되었다. 유전적으로 격리된 균주의 출현은 우리 나라에서 지리적 기원이 다른 고추 더뎅이병균 균주 사이에 이미 발생한 다양한 유전적 분화의 결과라고 추론된다.

Closely related species share large genomic segments called syntenic regions, where the genomic elements such as genes are arranged co-linearly among the species. While synteny is an important criteria in establishing orthologous regions between species, non-syntenic regions may display species-specific features. As the first step in cataloging human- or primate- specific genomic elements, we surveyed human genomic regions that are not syntenic with any other non-primate mammalian genomes sequenced so far. Based on the data compiled in Ensembl databases, we were able to identify 10 such regions located in eight different human chromosomes. Interestingly, most of these highly human- or primate- specific loci are concentrated in subtelomeric or pericentromeric regions. It has been reported that subtelomeric regions in human chromosomes are highly plastic and filled with recently shuffled genomic elements. Pericentromeric regions also show a great deal of segmental duplications. Such genomic rearrangements may have caused these large human- or primate- specific genome segments.

During the last decade, genomic cohort study has been developed in many countries by linking health data and genetic data in stored samples. Genomic cohort study is expected to find key genetic components that contribute to common diseases, thereby promising great advance in genome medicine. While many countries endeavor to build biobank systems, biobank-based genome research has raised important ethical concerns including genetic privacy, confidentiality, discrimination, and informed consent. Informed consent for biobank poses an important question: whether true informed consent is possible in population-based genomic cohort research where the nature of future studies is unforeseeable when consent is obtained. Due to the sensitive character of genetic information, protecting privacy and keeping confidentiality become important topics. To minimize ethical problems and achieve scientific goals to its maximum degree, each country strives to build population-based genomic cohort research project, by organizing public consultation, trying public and expert consensus in research, and providing safeguards to protect privacy and confidentiality.

DNA 다형성을 이용한 누에 유전자 해석기술을 개발하기 위하여 광식성 누에 계통 J111과 비광식성계통 $C_3$의 DNA를 분리하여 유전자 은행을 제작하였다. 누에 유전자 은행은 genomic DNA를 EcoRI로 절단한후 pUC18에 ligation 시켜 DH5$\alpha$ E. coli에 형질전환 시켰다. 형질전환 후 얻어진 colony는 15개 누에 품종의 genomic DNA에 hybridization하였을 때 누에의 품종에 관계없이 highly repetitive, moderately repetitive 및 single 혹은 low copy number 로 구분되었다. RFLP마커에 적합한 single 및 low-copy number band만을 형성하는 colony probe을 신속하게 선발하고자 colony또는 genomic DNA로 hybridization하였다. Single 및 low-copy number의 특성을 가진 219개의 clone을 선발하여 Hind III등 8종의 제한효소별로 처리한 genomic DNA를 이용하여 다형성을 검정하여 J111과 $C_3$ 계통간 다형성을 보인 46개의 clone을 선발하였다. 선발된 clone의 일부를 J111과 $C_3$를 교배하여 얻은 $F_2$의 blot에 hybridization 결과 RFLP clone들이 양친검정에 이용가능하여 누에 RFLP 연관 지도 작성의 기반을 조성하게 되었다.

Objective: The genetic evaluation of Santa Inês sheep was performed for resistance to gastrointestinal nematode infection (RGNI) and body size using different relationship matrices to assess the efficiency of including genomic information in the analyses. Methods: There were 1,637 animals in the pedigree and 500, 980, and 980 records of RGNI, thoracic depth (TD), and rump height (RH), respectively. The genomic data consisted of 42,748 SNPs and 388 samples genotyped with the OvineSNP50 BeadChip. The (co)variance components were estimated in single- and multi-trait analyses using the numerator relationship matrix (A) and the hybrid matrix H, which blends A with the genomic relationship matrix (G). The BLUP and single-step genomic BLUP methods were used. The accuracies of estimated breeding values and Spearman rank correlation were also used to assess the feasibility of incorporating genomic information in the analyses. Results: The heritability estimates ranged from 0.11±0.07, for TD (in single-trait analysis using the A matrix), to 0.38±0.08, for RH (using the H matrix in multi-trait analysis). The estimates of genetic correlation ranged from -0.65±0.31 to 0.59±0.19, using A, and from -0.42±0.30 to 0.57±0.16 using H. The gains in accuracy of estimated breeding values ranged from 2.22% to 75.00% with the inclusion of genomic information in the analyses. Conclusion: The inclusion of genomic information will benefit the direct selection for the traits in this study, especially RGNI and TD. More information is necessary to improve the understanding on the genetic relationship between resistance to nematode infection and body size in Santa Inês sheep. The genetic evaluation for the evaluated traits was more efficient when genomic information was included in the analyses.

Objective: This study was to determine the relationship between estimated breeding value and phenotype information after farrowing when juvenile selection was made in candidate pigs without phenotype information. Methods: After collecting phenotypic and genomic information for the total number of piglets born by Landrace pigs, selection accuracy between genomic breeding value estimates using genomic information and breeding value estimates of best linear unbiased prediction (BLUP) using conventional pedigree information were compared. Results: Genetic standard deviation (${\sigma}_a$) for the total number of piglets born was 0.91. Since the total number of piglets born for candidate pigs was unknown, the accuracy of the breeding value estimated from pedigree information was 0.080. When genomic information was used, the accuracy of the breeding value was 0.216. Assuming that the replacement rate of sows per year is 100% and generation interval is 1 year, genetic gain per year is 0.346 head when genomic information is used. It is 0.128 when BLUP is used. Conclusion: Genetic gain estimated from single step best linear unbiased prediction (ssBLUP) method is by 2.7 times higher than that the one estimated from BLUP method, i.e., 270% more improvement in efficiency.
