We performed a genome-wide linkage and quantitative trait locus (QTL) analysis to confirm the existence of QTL affecting Rous Sarcoma Virus (RSV) induced tumor regression, and to estimate their effects on phenotypic variance in an F2 resource population. The F2 population comprised 158 chickens obtained by crossing tumor regressive White Leghorn (WL) and tumor progressive Rhode Island Red (RIR) lines was measured for tumor formation after RSV inoculation. Forty-three tumor progressive and 28 tumor regressive chickens were then used for genome-wide linkage and QTL analysis using a total of 186 microsatellite markers. Microsatellite markers were mapped on 20 autosomal chromosomes. A significant QTL was detected with marker LEI0258 located within the MHC B region on chromosome 16. This QTL had the highest F ratio (9.8) and accounted for 20.1% of the phenotypic variation. Suggestive QTL were also detected on chromosomes 4, 7 and 10. The QTL on chromosome 4 were detected at the 1% chromosome-wide level explaining 17.5% of the phenotypic variation, and the QTLs on chromosome 7 and 10 were detected at the 5% chromosome-wide level and explained 11.1% and 10.5% of the phenotypic variation, respectively. These results indicate that the QTLs in the non-MHC regions play a significant role in RSV-induced tumor regression. The present study constitutes one of the first preliminary reports in domestic chickens for QTLs affecting RSV-induced tumor regression outside the MHC region.

Silkworms sex determination drew high attention from researchers. Sex chromosomes on the silkworm are of ZW type for females and ZZ type for males. Chromosome W plays an important role in sex determination. Although several molecular linkage maps have been constructed for silkworm, very few markers are discovered on the W chromosome. In order to look for molecular markers and to further locate the Fern gene on chromosome W, we used genomic DNA from both female and male larvae of a silkworm strain named 937 as PCR templates for RAPD amplification with 200 arbitrary 10-mer primers. The amplification results showed three female-specific bands, namely ${OPG-07_496}, {OPC-15_1,660} and {OPE-18_1,279}$. Further verification, however, revealed no band from OPG-07 and OPC-15 in either sex in the strain 798, but OPE-18 provided female-specific band in the strains Suluan7 and C108, and absent in both males and strain 798. This indicates that the bands from ${OPG-07_496} and {OPC-15_1,660}$ are probably female-specific in strain 937, and the band from OPE-18 was probably amplified from a common segment shared by most strains. The genomic DNAs from OPG-07 and OPC-15 were cloned and sequenced. Sequence analysis showed that the DNAs from OPG-07 and OPC-15 have high identities with the retrotransposable elements, and DNA from OPC-15 contains a portion of sequence which probably encodes an eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4E binding protein (eIF4EBP).

The Hinai-dori is a breed of chicken native to Akita Prefecture, Japan. An $F_2$ resource population produced by crossing low- and high-growth lines of the Hinai-dori breed was analyzed to detect quantitative trait loci (QTL) for growth traits. Highly significant QTLs for body weight at 10 and 14 weeks of age and average daily gain between 4 and 10 weeks and between 10 and 14 weeks of age were accordingly mapped in a common region between ADL0198 and ABR0287 on chromosome 1 and between MCW0240 and ABR0622 on chromosome 4, respectively. A significant QTL for body weight at 4 weeks of age and a significant QTL for average daily gain between 0 and 4 weeks of age were mapped for the first time to the same region flanking ABR0204 and ABR0284 on chromosome 1. These QTLs are good candidates for application in the development of marker-assisted selection strategies for increasing growth efficiencies in the Hinai-dori breed and native breeds of chickens in Asia.

Constitutive heterochromatin의 염색체 다형현상에 대해 사람을 비롯하여 돼지, 생쥐, 말, 닭 등에서 보고된 바 있다. 본 연구에서는 일본산메추리의 C－band 다형체 뿐만 아니라 염색체의 형태적 다형체를 발견하여 이의 다형현상을 밝혔다. 일반적인 염색체 분석방법 및 C－banding 방법으로서 밝힌 3가지 염색체 다형체는 4번 염색체 ＋/－ 동형체, ＋/－ 이형체 및 －/－ 동형체이다. 이와 같은 다형체들은 무작위 집단 내에서 일반적이고 지속적으로 나타나며 Mendel 법칙에 따른 유전양상을 보인다. 따라서 본 연구에서 밝힌 염색체 다형체들은 여러 세포유전학적 연구에 표식인자(chromosome marker)로서 유용하게 이용되어질 수 있을 것으로 생각된다.

LOD scores and a permutation test for detecting and locating Quantitative trait loci(QTL) from the Hanwoo economic trait have been described and we selected a considerable major BMS941 locus. K -means clustering analysis of eight markers in BMS941 and four traits resulted in three cluster groups. Finally, we applied the bootstrap test method to calculate confidence intervals for finding major DNA markers. We conclude that the major markers of BMS941 locus in Hanwoo chromosome 17 are markers 85bp and 105bp.

To obtain the genetic information of Korean native livestock, the karyotyping of Korean native chick were performed by high-resolution banding technique. The chromosomes were prepared from lymphocyte culture and early embryos with 200 Korean native chick which have been raised at National Livestock Research Institute. There were no significant difference between Korean native chick and Leghorn in the number of chromosomes and chromosomal morphological pattern. Using high resolution banding technique, the yield of G-bands of prophase is much greater than that can be obtained by International System for Standardzed Avian Karyotypes(ISSAK, 1999). The G-band landmarks of Korean native chick were similar to those of ISSAK and Leghorn except some macrochromosomes. chromosome Z and 3 had C-band variants with heteromorphic patterns on distal and centromeric site. The proportion of constitutive heterochromatin, the heterochromatin ratio of Korean native chick was significantly more than that of Leghorn in all chromosomes.

Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease (ADPKD) is one of the most common inherited renal disorders in the world. Mutations in PKD1 located on chromosome 16p13.3 are responsible for 85% of all the ADPKD patients whereas mutations in PKD2 on chromosome 4q21-23 are responsible for the rest of the cases. Genetic heterogeneity and the problems of mutation detection in PKD1 suggest that linkage analysis is an important approach to study the genetics of ADPKD. To evaluate the availability of six (CA)n microsatellite markers for the linkage analysis of ADPKD in the Korean population, we examined the allele frequencies and heterozygosities of the markers. With the exception of KG8, five markers were highly informative, with PIC values over 0.5, but the PIC value of KG8 marker was less informative than other five markers because of the low number of alleles. Therefore, this study will be useful in linkage analysis for ADPKD families in the Korean population.

본 연구는 한국재래닭의 1번 염색체내 존재하는 17개의 MS(microsatellite) marker를 이용하여 경제형질과 관련하여 유의적인 연관성을 가진 지역을 탐색하기 위하여 실시하였다. 1번 염색체내 경제형질과의 유의적인 연관성을 가진 지역을 탐색하기 위하여 분석된 17개의 MS marker를 대상으로 각 marker별 대립 유전자의 최다 출현 빈도를 지닌 두 개의 대립 유전자를 선발하였다. 선발된 각각의 대립 유전자는 각 경제형질별 성적을 바탕으로 고능력 집단과 저능력 집단으로 나누었으며, 두 집단간의 Chi-squire 검정을 통해 경제형질과의 연관성을 확인하였다. 분석된 결과에 따르면 난중의 경우 94 cM에 위치한 MCW0106, 1개의 지역에서 유의적인 연관성이 탐색되었다. 시산일령의 경우, 3개의 지역(ADL0234, UMA 1.125, ADL0101)에서 유의적인 연관성이 탐색되었고, 체중의 경우 6개의 지역(UMA1.117, ADL0020, UMA1.019, LAMP1, ADL0101, ADL0238)에서 유의적인 연관성이 탐색되었으며, 마지막으로 산란수의 경우 2개의 지역(ADL0101, ADL0238)에서 유의적인 연관성을 확인하였다. ADL0101는 시산일령, 체중 그리고 산란수에서의 유의적인 연관성이 확인되었으며, 산란수에서는 두개의 대립 유전자(174, 178) 모두에서 유의적인 연관성이 탐색되었음을 확인하였다.

This study was carried out to map Bphl and bph2 gene in Mudgo and Sangju13 (Oryza sativa L.) respectively conferring resistance to brown plan-thopper (BPH) and to establish the marker-assisted selection (MAS) system. Bulked seedling (grown for 20 days) test was conducted with the 73 F4 lines derived from a cross between Nagdongbyeo and Mudgo for Bphl and with 53 BC3F5 lines derived from the Milyang95/Sangju13 cross for bph2. Bph1 was mapped between RG413 and RG901 on chromo-some 12 at a distance of 7.5 cM from RG413 and 8.4 cM from RG90l. A recessive gene bph2 was located near RZ76 on chromosome 12 at a distance of 14.4 cM. Bphl and bph2 were linked to each other with a distance of about 30 cM. An RFLP marker, RG413 linked to Bphl, was converted to an STS marker to facilitate the marker-assisted selection. BPH resistant genotypes could be selected with 92% accuracy in a population derived from a line of NM47-B-B.

Rhizobium fredii USDA193은 대두(Peking)의 근모 세포벽에 침투하여 근류를 형성한다. 본 실험에서는 전보 (1)에서 분리 보고한 R.fredii의 pectate lyase 유전자 clone(SY1)으로부터 $\Omega$변이를 시켰다. 이것을 R.fredii USDA193에 다시 marker-exchange시켜 얻은 변이주(R.fredii USDA193$\Omega$와 R.fredii USDA193omega1)의 pectate lyase 활성이 완전히 block되지 못하였다. R.fredii 내에서는 다른 종류의 pel 유전자가 존재하 것으로 생각되며 pelB 및 pelE의 Rhizobium mutants들은 근류형성 초기단계에서 직접적으로 영향을 미치지 못하였다.
