Bioinformatics is formed with a blend of biology and informatics technologies and it employs the statistical methods and approaches for attending the concerning issues in the domains of nutrition, medical research and towards reviewing the living environment. The ceaseless growth of DNA sequencing technologies has resulted in the production of voluminous genomic data especially the DNA sequences thus calling out for increased storage and bandwidth. As of now, the bioinformatics confronts the major hurdle of management, interpretation and accurately preserving of this hefty information. Compression tends to be a beacon of hope towards resolving the aforementioned issues. Keeping the storage efficiently, a methodology has been recommended which for attending the same. In addition, there is introduction of a competent algorithm that aids in exact matching of small pattern. The DNA representation sequence is then implemented subsequently for determining 2 bases to 6 bases matching with the remaining input sequence. This process involves transforming of DNA sequence into an ASCII symbols in the first level and compress by using LZ77 compression method in the second level and after that form the grid variables with size 3 to hold the 100 characters. In the third level of compression, the compressed output is in the grid variables. Hence, the proposed algorithm S_Pattern DNA gives an average better compression ratio of 93% when compared to the existing compression algorithms for the datasets from the UCI repository.

We eliminated introns from replication independent chicken H3.3 histone gene using a H3.3 cDNA clone and a genomic H3.3 clone. After introduction into Rat 3 cells, we observed its pattern of expression by analyzing mRNA from different phases of the cell cycle. Even without introns, the H3.3 gene was expressed constitutively at a low level throughout the cell cycle. This indicates that the introns in the H3.3 gene are not responsible for the cell cycle-independent expression of the gene. This result contradicts previous reports that suggested their importance in cell cycle regulated expression. We believe that other regions of the gene, promoter, coding region, and/or 3'-end of the gene, are involved in its expression pattern.

The arbitrary primed polymerase chain reaction (AP-PCR) has been used to detect the genetic alternations in the related species. Simple and reproducible fingerprints of complex genomes can be generated using single arbitrary chosen primers and the PCR. The technique was applied to the Oryza species and characterized the relationship among three cultivars of rice species based on theresult of genomic DNA fingerprints. The results indicated that the polymorphism revealed in rice strains and the differences in the PCR product pattern could be represented for each strainis. There was many variationsin the PCR product pattern between cv. Dongin(japonica type)and cv.Hyangdo (indica type), and our chosen AP-primers can ge as markers for strain identification and verfication.

Simple sequence repeats (SSR)는 진핵생물체에 널리 산재되어 있으며, 큰 다형현상을 나타내고, polymerase chain reaction (PCR)으로 쉽게 분석된다. 이 연구의 목적은 서로 다른 Chlamydomonas reinhardtii계통간의 다형현상과 Chlamydomonas의 SSR 좌위에서의 유전양상을 결정하는데 있었다. C. reinhardtii의 genomic DNA library를 만들어 $^{32}$P로 라벨링한 (AC)$_{11}$ probe를 이용하여 (CA/GT)n 반복서열을 가지는 clone을 선택하기위해 screen하였다. 선택된 clone을 sequencing하여 (CA/GT)n sequence에 인접한 PCR primer set를 제조하였다. PCR은 여러 C. reinhardtii 계통의 SSR 좌위를 증폭하기 위하여 사용하였다. 그 좌위는 및몇 C. reinhardtii 계통에서 다형현상을 보였다. 그러나 그 좌위에서 C. reinhardtii의 6계통중 4계통만 DNA가 PCR 증폭을 하였고 2계통은 증폭을 하지 않았다. C. reinhardtii와 C. smithii의 교배로 생긴 4배체에서 2:2의 분리비를 보여주었는데, 이는 단순한 멘델의 유전양상을 나타낸다. 이러한 결과로 미루어 SSR 다형현상은 Chlamydomonas의 개체 식별, 개체군 연구, 연쇄 분석, 그리고 유전자 지도 작성을 하는데 유용할 것이다.다.

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) act as regulators of gene expression by binding to the 3' untranslated region (UTR) of target genes. They perform important biological functions in the various species. Among many miRNAs, miR-21-3p is known to serve vital functions in development and apoptosis in olive flounder. Using genomic and bioinformatic tools, evolutionary conservation of miR-21-3p was examined in various species, and expression pattern was analyzed in olive flounder. Conserved sequences (5'-CAGUCG-3') in numerous species were detected through the stem-loop structure of miR-21-3p. Thus, we analyzed target genes of miR-21-3p. Among them, 3' UTR region of PPIL2 gene indicated the highest binding affinity with miR-21-3p based on the minimum free energy value. The PPIL2 gene showed high expression levels in testis tissue of the olive flounder, whereas miR-21-3p showed rather ubiquitous expression patterns except in testis tissue, indicating that miR-21-3p seems to control the PPIL2 gene expression in a complementary repression manner in various tissues of olive flounder. Taken together, this current study contributes to infer the target gene candidates for the miR-21-3p using bioinformatics tools. Furthermore, our data offers important information on the relationship between miR-21-3p and target gene for further functional study.

Axin2/Conductin/Axil and its ortholog Axin are negative regulators of the Wnt signaling pathway, which promote the phosphorylation and degradation of ${\beta}$-catenin. While Axin is expressed ubiquitously, Axin2 mRNA was seen in a restricted pattern during mouse embryogenesis and organogenesis. Because many sites of Axin2 expression overlapped with those of several Wnt genes, we tested whether Axin2 was induced by Wnt signaling. Endogenous Axin2 mRNA and protein expression could be rapidly induced by activation of the Wnt pathway, and Axin2 reporter constructs, containing a 5.6 kb DNA fragment including the promoter and first intron, were also induced. This genomic region contains eight Tcf/LEF consensus binding sites, five of which are located within longer, highly conserved non-coding sequences. The mutation or deletion of these Tcf/LEF sites greatly diminished induction by ${\beta}$-catenin, and mutation of the Tcf/LEF site T2 abolished protein binding in an electrophoretic mobility-shift assay. These results strongly suggest that Axin2 is a direct target of the Wnt pathway, mediated through Tcf/LEF factors. The 5.6 kb genomic sequence was sufficient to direct the tissue specific expression of d2EGFP in transgenic embryos, consistent with a role for the Tcf/LEF sites and surrounding conserved sequences in the in vivo expression pattern of Axin2. Our results suggest that Axin2 participates in a negative feedback loop, which could serve to limit the duration or intensity of a Wnt-initiated signal.

The genes encoding non-specific lipid transfer proteins (nsLTPs), members of a small multigene family, show a complex pattern of expressional regulation, suggesting that some diversification may have resulted from changes in their expression after duplication. In this study, the evolution of nsLTP genes within the Poaceae family was characterized via a survey of the pseudogenes and unigenes encoding the nsLTP in rice pseudomolecules and the NCBI unigene database. nsLTP-rich regions were detected in the distal portions of rice chromosomes 11 and 12; these may have resulted from the most recent large segmental duplication in the rice genome. Two independent tandem duplications were shown to occur within the nsLTP-rich regions of rice. The genomic distribution of the nsLTP genes in the rice genome differs from that in wheat. This may be attributed to gene migration, chromosomal rearrangement, and/or differential gene loss. The genomic distribution pattern of nsLTP genes in the Poaceae family points to the existence of some differences among cereal nsLTP genes, all of which diverged from an ancient gene. The unigenes encoding nsLTPs in each cereal species are clustered into five groups. The somewhat different distribution of nsLTP-encoding EST clones between the groups across cereal species imply that independent duplication(s) followed by subfunctionalization (and/or neofunctionalization) of the nsLTP gene family in each species occurred during speciation.

xBrassicoraphanus line BB#5, a new synthetic intergeneric hybrid between Brassica rapa L. ssp. pekinensis and Raphanus sativus L. var. rafiphera induced by N-methyl-N-nitroso-urethane mutagenesis in microspore culture, shows high seed fertility and morphological uniformity. Dual-color fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) using 5S and 45S rDNA probes and genomic in situ hybridization (GISH) using B. rapa genomic DNA probe were carried out to analyze the chromosome composition and the meiosis pairing pattern compared to its parental lines. The somatic chromosome complement is 2n = 38, which consists of 17 metacentric and two submetacentric chromosomes with lengths of 2.18 to $5.01{\mu}m$. FISH karyotype analysis showed five and eight pairs of 5S and 45S rDNA loci. GISH meiosis pairing analysis showed that 19 complete bivalents were most frequent and accounted for 42% of the 100 pollen mother cells examined. Based on chromosome number, size, morphology, rDNA distribution, and meiosis pairing pattern, both parental genomes of B. rapa and R. sativus appear to exist in xBrassicoraphanus line BB#5, demonstrating its genome integrity. Such stable chromosome constitutions and meiotic pairing patterns in somatic and meiotic cells are very rare in natural and synthetic intergeneric hybrids. Chromosomal studies and genetic and phenotypic changes in allopolyploids a re discussed. The results p resented h erein will b e usef ul f or f urther g enomic s tudy o f xBrassicoraphanus lines and their improvement as promising new breeding varieties.

Twenty isolates of Didymella bryoniae were isolated from infected cucurbit plants in various growing areas of southern Korea in 2001 and 2002. Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA (RAPD) group [RG] I of D. bryoniae was more virulent than RG IV to watermelon. Virulence of the RG I isolate was strong to moderate to cucumber, whereas that of the RG IV varied from strong, moderate to weak. Two hundred seventy-three amplified fragments were produced with 40 primers, and were analyzed by a cluster analysis using UPGMA method with an arithmetic average program of NTSYSPC. At the distance level of 0.7, two major genomic DNA RAPD groups were differentiated among 20 isolates. The RG I included 7 isolates from watermelon and one isolate from melon, whereas the RG IV included 12 isolates from squash, cucumber, watermelon and melon. Amplification of internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region and small subunit rRNA region from the 20 isolates yielded respectively a single fragment. Restriction pattern with 12 restriction enzymes was identical for all isolates tested, suggesting that variation in the ITS and small subunit within the D. bryoniae were low. Amplification of the genomic DNAs of the tested isolates with the sequence characterized amplified regions (SCAR) primer RG IF-RG IR specific for RG I group resulted in a single band of 650bp fragment for 8 isolates out of the 20 isolates. Therefore, these 8 isolates could be assigned into RG I. The same experiments done with RG IIF-RG IIR resulted in no amplified PCR product for the 20 isolates tested. An about 1.4 kb-fragment amplified from the RG IV isolates was specifically hybridized with PCR fragments amplified from genomic DNAs of the RG IV isolates only, suggesting that this PCR product could be used for discriminating the RG IV isolates from the RG I isolates as well other fungal species.

VVTL1은 포도 과육에서 특이적으로 다량 발현되는, PR5 계열의 thaumatin과 높은 상동성을 나타내는 단백질로서, 품종에 따라 염기서열의 차이를 나타낸다고 알려져 있다. 현재까지 포도의 VVTL1에 대해서 몇몇 연구가 진행되었지만, 우리나라에서 가장 많이 재배되는 품종인 캠벨에서는 전혀 이루어지지 않았다. 본 연구에서는 캠벨 품종으로부터 VVTL1-homolog 유전자의 게놈 DNA를 분리하여, 염기서열을 분석하였다. VVTL1-homolog 유전자는 일반적으로 PR5 유전자의 구조와 동일한 구조인, intron이 없는 하나의 exon으로만 구성되어 있었다. 염기서열로부터 추론된 VVTL1-homolog 단백질의 아미노산 서열은 VVTL1을 비롯한 다른 품종의 포도에서 분리된 TLP와는 달리 염기성의 등전점을 가지고 있었다. Primer extension 분석을 통해 전사개시 부위를 결정하였고, promoter영역을 포함하는 5'upstream 지역에 전사에 중요한 TATA box (4개)와 CAAT box (1개)가 존재하였으나, 이들의 위치와 수는 다른 PR5 유전자의 promoter와는 다랐다. 이러한 연구결과는 VVTL1-homolog 유전자의 발현이 과육 성숙과정동안 abscisic acid와 스트레스 또는 자극에 의해 발현이 유도되고 있음을 제시해준다. 포도 과육특이발현 promoter인 VVTL1-homolog 유전자의 promoter 분리는, 유전자의 도입에 의해 유용형질을 과육에 나타내는 포도품종을 개발하고자 할 때 효율적으로 사용될 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.
