To add genetic information to the conservation efforts on grey coral (Naemorhedus caudatus) in Korea, we investigated the pattern of mitochondrial cytochrome b gene sequence (606 bp) of six specimens from two localities in Korea. The corresponding sequences of N. caudatus in China obtained from GenBank were also used. The nucleotide Tamura-Nei distances between each of four haplotypes of N. caudatus in Korea and the haplotype of N. caudatus in China varied from 0.0650 to 0.0803: N. caudatus revealed high level of sequence diversity in Bovidae. In N. caudatus in Korea, the distances among three haplotypes at Yanggu were 0.0151 to 0.0185, and it suggests that the genetic diversity of Yanggu population was decreased in low level. Moreover, the distances between each of three haplotypes at Yanggu and one haplotype at Samcheok were 0.0343 to 0.0489. It indicates that habitat isolation caused the continuous increase of genetic distance with geographic distance in N. caudatus, and various conservation plans for mitigating the loss of genetic diversity in Korea have to be in immediate action. To clarify the taxonomic status of N. caudatus, the sequence (276 bp) of N. goral available from GenBank were also utilized, and n goral was not distinct from N. caudatus. It suggests that they may be conspecific, but further analyses with additional specimens of two species are necessary.

In this paper, we analyze the anynchrous cellular hybrid DS/FH spread spectrum system with diversity on nonselective Nakagami fading channel. Binary Psk scheme is considered and random spreading code sequences and random hopping patterns are used. We compare the performance of system using hard-limiting correlation receiver with diversity and linear corrleation receiver in Nakagami fading channel. We compute the average bit error probabilities with/without diversity according to spreading code sequence and the number of hop-ping frequencies under the same handwith espansion, and analyze near-far effect. The results show that hard-limiting correlation receiver with diversity gives a good performance over severe fading channel.

A study on the dominance-diversity of forest vegetation in Mt. Seolag was conducted from May 1981 to Aug. 1983. Based on the field data, the dominance-diversity curves were for 16 sites including slopes and vallies. The curves are grouped in two types, lognormal distribution at the sites of mature vegetation and geometric series at the disturbed or rocky sites. It seems that the curves express the nature of their ecocline, by the hypotheses of some investigators, i.e. Random Niche hypothesis, Niche Pre-emption hypothesis, Lognormal distribution and Logarithmic series. The dominance concentration among the southern, northern and western slope, H'=1.282 at southern slope and H'=1.385 at western slope. Dominance-diversity curves of 16 sites showed Preston's lognormal distribution with small variations among them. It seems that the dominance diversity reflects the differences in the coenocline of their sites. The top 10 dominant species in species sequence of 113 tree species in whole the mountain, were noticed: Quercus mongolica, Pinus densiflora, Acer pseudo-siebold anum, Quercus serrata, Carpinus laxiflora, Styrax obassia, Fraxinus rhynchophylla, Tilia amurensis, Lindera obtusiloba and Abies holophylla in order.

Recently, since DNA computing has been widely studied for various applications, DNA sequence design which is the most basic and important step for DNA computing has been highlighted. In previous works, DNA sequence design has been formulated as a multi-objective optimization task, and solved by elitist non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm (NSGA-II). However, NSGA-II needed lots of computational time. Therefore, we use an $\varepsilon$- multiobjective evolutionarv algorithm ($\varepsilon$-MOEA) to overcome the drawbacks of NSGA-II in this paper. To compare the performance of two algorithms in detail, we apply both algorithms to the DTLZ2 benchmark function. $\varepsilon$-MOEA outperformed NSGA-II in both convergence and diversity, $70\%$ and $73\%$ respectively. Especially, $\varepsilon$-MOEA finds optimal solutions using small computational time. Based on these results, we redesign the DNA sequences generated by the previous DNA sequence design tools and the DNA sequences for the 7-travelling salesman problem (TSP). The experimental results show that $\varepsilon$-MOEA outperforms the most cases. Especially, for 7-TSP, $\varepsilon$-MOEA achieves the comparative results two tines faster while finding $22\%$ improved diversity and $92\%$ improved convergence in final solutions using the same time.

Genetic diversity among Pseudomonas syringae pv. morsprunorum isolates from Prunus mume in Korea and Japan was investigated by comparative sequence analysis of the 16S rRNA gene. The strains included 24 field isolates recovered from P. mume in Korea along with seven Japanese strains. Two strains isolated from P. salicina in Japan, one strain from P. avium in the United Kingdom, and the pathotype strain were also used for comparison with their 16S rRNA gene sequences. Nearly complete 16S rRNA gene sequences were sequenced in all 35 strains, and three sequence types, designated types I, II and III, were identified. Eleven strains consisting of five Korean isolates, five Japanese strains, and one strain from the United Kingdom belonged to type I, whereas the pathotype strain and another 19 Korean isolates belonged to type III. Another four Japanese strains belonged to type II. Type I showed 98.9% sequence homology with type III. Type I and II had only two heterogeneous bases. The 16S rRNA sequence types were correlated with the races of P. syringae pv. morsprunorum. Type I and II strains belonged to race 1, whereas type III isolates were included in race 2. Sequence analyses of the 16S rRNA gene from P. syringae pv. morsprunorum were useful in identifying the races and can further be used for epidemiological surveillance of this pathogen.

Microsatellites or simple sequence repeats are motifs of 1 to 6 nucleotides in length present in both coding and non-coding regions of DNA. These are found widely distributed in the whole genome of prokaryotes, eukaryotes, bacteria, and viruses and are used as molecular markers in studying DNA variations, gene regulation, genetic diversity and evolutionary studies, etc. However, in vitro microsatellite identification proves to be time-consuming and expensive. Therefore, the present research has been focused on using an in-house built java pipeline to identify, analyse, design primers and find related statistics of perfect and compound microsatellites in the seven complete genome sequences of coronavirus, including the genome of coronavirus disease 2019, where the host is Homo sapiens. Based on search criteria among seven genomic sequences, it was revealed that the total number of perfect simple sequence repeats (SSRs) found to be in the range of 76 to 118 and compound SSRs from 01 to10, thus reflecting the low conversion of perfect simple sequence to compound repeats. Furthermore, the incidence of SSRs was insignificant but positively correlated with genome size (R² = 0.45, p > 0.05), with simple sequence repeats relative abundance (R² = 0.18, p > 0.05) and relative density (R² = 0.23, p > 0.05). Dinucleotide repeats were the most abundant in the coding region of the genome, followed by tri, mono, and tetra. This comparative study would help us understand the evolutionary relationship, genetic diversity, and hypervariability in minimal time and cost.

Dysphania ambrosioides (L.) Mosyakin & Clemants which belongs to Chenopodiaceae/Amaranthaceae sensu in APG system has been known as a useful plant in various fields as well as an invasive species spreading all over the world. To understand its phylogenetic relationship with neighbour species, we completed chloroplast genome of D. ambrosioides collected in Korea. Its length is 151,689 bp consisting of four sub-regions: 83,421 bp of large single copy (LSC) and 18,062 bp of small single copy (SSC) regions are separated by 25,103 bp of inverted repeat (IR) regions. 128 genes (84 protein-coding genes, eight rRNAs, and 36 tRNAs) were annotated. The overall GC content of the chloroplast genome is 36.9% and those in the LSC, SSC and IR regions are 34.9%, 30.3%, and 42.7%, respectively. Distribution of simple sequence repeats are similar to those of the other two Dysphania chloroplasts; however, different features can be utilized for population genetics. Nucleotide diversity of Dysphania chloroplast genomes 18 genes including two ribosomal RNAs contains high nucleotide diversity peaks, which may be genus or species-specific manner. Phylogenetic tree presents that D. ambrosioides occupied a basal position in genus Dysphania and phylogenetic relation of tribe level is presented clearly with complete chloroplast genomes.

As a sequel to Part 1, the performance characteristics of the cell averaging (CA), greatest of (GO), and smallest of (SO) constant false alarm rate (CFAR) processors in nonhomogeneous environment are obtained and compared when receiving antenna diversity is employed in the pseudonoise (PN) code acquisition of direct-sequence code division multiple access (DS/CDMA) systems. Unlike in homogeneous environment, the GO CFAR processor is observed to exhibit the best performance in nonhomogeneous environment, with the CA CFAR processor performing the second best.

To assess the genetic diversity of Aconitum coreanum (Ranunculaceae) populations in Korea, we have amplified and sequenced eight organellar marker regions, and developed and analyzed microsatellite markers. No sequence variation was detected from the eight organellar markers. Ten microsatellites were developed using Next Generation Sequencing and two microsatellite markers, AK_CA03 and AK_CT07, were identified polymorphic and applied for 143 individuals of twelve A. coreanum populations. Four and five alleles were detected for the two microsatellite loci, respectively, and number of migrants ($N_m$) was estimated as 1.12586. Two microsatellite marker loci showed $F_{ST}$ of 0.205 and 0.275, respectively. The heterozygosity deficit, low level of among-population differentiation, small size of gene flow, and lack of sequence variation of the organellar markers suggest that A. coreanum is reproductively isolated from other Aconitum species and there has been continuous gene flow among the populations of A. coreanum or it has dispersed relatively recently after speciation. Though population pairwise $F_{ST}$'s presented significant geographic structure, further sampling and study will be necessary to confirm this.
