The karyotypes of Korean Sciunis vulgaris coreas and Tamias sibiricus asiaticus were analyzed by conventional Giemsa staining and C-banding method. The diploid chromosome number (2n) of Sciunis vulgaris coreae 40 consisting of 6 metacentric, 8 submetacentric, 3 subtelocentric and 2 telocentric autosome pairs, submetacentric X and acrocentric or subtelocentric Y chromosome. The arm number (NF) of this species was obtained as 72, excluding the gonosomal arms. Tamias sibiricus asiaticus has a 2n of 38. The karyotype was represented by 3 metacentric, 4 submetacentric, 5 subtelocentric and 6 telocentric autosome paits and 2 sex chromosome. The X chromosome was submetacentric chromosome and the Y was the smallest chromosome with a median. The NF was 60. In S. vulgaris coreae constitutive heterochromatins were observed at the centromeres and telomeres. Constitutive heterochnomatins of T sibiricus asiaticus were primarily observed at the centromeres. These results suggested that non-Robensonian reanagenents and distribution of constitutive heterochromatin played an imporiant role in karyological differentiation of these species.

Samples of two species of genus Ratts(black rat, Rattus rasttus Linnaeus; common rat, Rattus norvegicus Berkenhaut) in Korea were trapped and their 31 morphometric charcters were analyzed statistically in order to determine the range of geographic variation within each species and the interspecific differences. In addition, chromosomal G-bands and C-bands were compared and the fragment patterns of mtDNA resulted from the digestion with restriction enzymes were also analyzed. Samples of black rats from six localities in Korea were similar with one another in their morphometric characters: in head and body length, length of tail vertebrae, conventional karyotype and C-bands, they are comparable to Rattus rattus tanezumi in Japan. Specimens of common rats from seven localities in Korea were similar with one another in their morphometric characters: in conventional karyotype, they are comparable to Rattus norvegicus caraco in eastern Asia. Common rats differ from black rats in their morphometric characteris, chromosomal karyotypes and mtDNA. It is confirmed that correct species name of black rat in Korea is Rattus rattus tanezumi Tempminck: species name of common rat in Korea is Rattus norvegicus caraco Pallas: the common rat is a species, which is distinct from the black rat.

연두순부(Ischnochiton comptus)와 가는 줄연두군부(I. hakodadensis)두 종의 정소를 재료로하여 핵형 분석을 실시하였다. 두 종의 염색체는 모두 중부염색체로 구성되어 있고, 염색체 수는 n=12이며, 성염색체는 관찰되지 않았다. 이들 염색체는 이들의 크기로는 별도의 염색체군으로 나누어지지 않았다.

1996년 8월 춘천 의암호에서 채집한 긴애기물달팽이(Fossaria truncatula)를 재료로 공기건조법을 이용하여 통상적인 방법으로 염색체를 관찰하고 핵형을 분석하였다. 그 결과 긴애기물달팽이의 염색체 수는 2n=31, 32이었으며 15쌍의 배수체와 1개의 성염색체를 가지고 있었다. 핵형은 3쌍의 metacentric과 13쌍의 submetacentric 염색체로 구성되어 있었다.

Molecular cytogenetics allows the identification of unknown chromosome rearrangements, which is clinically useful in patients with mental retardation and/or development delay. We report on a 31-year-old woman with severe mental retardation, behavior development delay, and verbal performance delay. Conventional cytogenetic analysis showed a 46,XX,add(8)(p23.3) karyotype. To determine the origin of this unbalanced translocation, we performed array CGH and subtelomeric FISH. The results showed that the distal region of chromosome 8p was added to the terminal of chromosome 13q. This was confirmed the final result of 46,XX,der(8)t(8:13)(p23.3;q32.1)dn.

The karyotype of the Niwaella multifasciata, endemic species to the Nakdong River in Korea, is reported for the first time. The sample species, Niwaella multifasciata collected from the Milyang River and the Nam River which are tributaries of the Nakdong River, has a diploid complement of 50 chromosomes composed of 10 metacentric, 28 submetacentric, 12 subtelocentric chromosomes, and 88 arm numbers. The arm number of Niwaella multifasciata was larger than any other species of Cobitidae. Sexual dimophism and intraspecific polymophism of the chromosomes were not observed in this study.

The chromosome numbers of two species (Culter brevicauda and Erythroculter erythropterus) of Korean Cultrinae are investigated. In two species, the mitotic chromosomes from 24 groups with two chromosomes each indicated that it is a diploid. Their karyotypes and total length of chromosomes were slightly different from each other. The karyotype of C. brevicauda and E. erthropterus is 2n=48 (7M+10SM+7ST), FN=96 and 2n=48 (6M+10SM+8ST), FN=96. Observed chromosomes of C. brevicauda and E. erythropterus ranged from 5.4 to $2.2{\mu}m$ and 6.1 to $2.3{\mu}m$ in length, respectively.
