Objectives The present study was designed to systematically characterize the denaturation and the renaturation of double stranded DNA (dsDNA), which is suitable for DNA hybridization. Methods A series of physical and chemical denaturation methods were implemented on well-defined 86-bp dsDNA fragment. The degree of each denaturation was measured and the most suitable denaturation method was determined. DNA renaturation tendency was also investigated for the suggested denaturation method. Results Heating, beads mill, and sonication bath did not show any denaturation for 30 minutes. However probe sonication fully denatured DNA in 5 minutes. 1 mol/L sodium hydroxide (alkaline treatment) and 60% dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) treatment fully denatured DNA in 2-5 minutes. Conclusions Among all the physical methods applied, the direct probe sonication was the most effective way to denature the DNA fragments. Among chemical methods, 60% DMSO was the most adequate denaturation method since it does not cause full renaturation during DNA hybridization.

본 연구에서는 DNA의 고정화 및 DNA 혼성화 반응을 감지할 수 있는 SH형 SAW 센서를 개발하였다. 고정화 및 혼성화 반응에 사용된 탐침 DNA 및 표적 DNA는 상보적 결합이 일어날 수 있는 염기서열을 가진 15-mer의 올리고뉴클레 오티드를 사용하였다. SH형 SAW 센서는 압전 단결정 $36^{\circ}\;YX\;LiTaO_3$를 사용하여 100 MHz로 발진되는 이중 지연선 형태로 제작하였다. 제작된 센서는 Au가 증착된 박막위에 고정화된 탐침 DNA와 표적 DNA와의 혼성화 반응을 시키고 난 후 센서의 주파수 변화를 측정하였으며, DNA 고정화 및 혼성화 반응은 pH 7.4의 PBS 완충용액상에서 수행하였다. 개발된 SH형 SAW센서는 $1.55 {\cal}ng/{\cal}ml/Hz$의 민감도를 가지며, DNA 혼성화 특성에 기인한 질량하중 효과에 따른 안정적인 주파수 변화를 나타내었다.

미꾸라지의 성장호르몬 유전자를 분리하기 위하여 미꾸라지의 cDNA library를 준비하였다. total RNA는 미꾸라지의 뇌하수체로부터 얻었으며 oligo (dT)-coupled magnetic bead를 이용하여 total RNA로부터 mRNA를 순수분리하였다. 정제된 mRNA는 cDNA를 합성하기 위한 기질로 사용하였으며, 합성된 cDNA는 EcoRV/Smal으로 절단된 pBlueKS+ plasmid vector에 삽입하였다. 모든 ligation 반응용액을 E. coli, JM109 균주에 형질전환을 유도하였으며 형질전환 효율을 최대화시키기 위하여 전기천공법을 이용하였다. 얻어진 모든 형질전환주들을 DIG로 표지된 Tilapia의 성장호르몬 유전자를 이용하여 고밀도 colony hybridization 에 의하여 검색하였다. 양성반응을 나타내는 10개의 형질전환주를 분리하여 2차 colony hybridization 및 southern hybridization에 의하여 성장호르몬 유전자가 cloning 되었음을 확인하였다. 10 개의 형질전환주 중 하나인 pCGH1을 probe로 사용한 Tilapia 성장 호르몬 유전자의 염기서열과 비교분석하였으며 53.2%의 유사성을 나타냄을 확인하였다.

DNA computing based DNA sequence Is operated through the biology experiment. Biology experiment used as operator causes illegal reactions through shifted hybridization, mismatched hybridization, undesired hybridization of the DNA sequence. So, it is essential to design DNA sequence to minimize the potential errors. This paper proposes method of the DNA sequence generation based evolutionary operation processor. Genetic algorithm was used for evolutionary operation and extra hardware, namely genetic algorithm processor was implemented for solving repeated evolutionary process that causes much computation time. To show efficiency of the Proposed processor, excellent result is confirmed by comparing between fitness of the DNA sequence formed randomly and DNA sequence formed by genetic algorithm processor. Proposed genetic algorithm processor can reduce the time and expense for preparing DNA sequence that is essential in DNA computing. Also it can apply design of the oligomer for development of the DNA chip or oligo chip.

High throughput analysis using a DNA chip microarray is powerful tool in the post genome era. Less labor-intensive and lower cost-performance is required. Thus, this paper aims to develop the multi-channel type label-free DNA chip and detect SNP (Single nucleotide polymorphisms). At first, we fabricated a high integrated type DNA chip array by lithography technology. Various probe DNAs were immobilized on the microelectrode array. We succeeded to discriminate of DNA hybridization between target DNA and mismatched DNA on microarray after immobilization of a various probe DNA and hybridization of label-free target DNA on. the electrodes simultaneously. This method is based on redox of an electrochemical ligand.

In DNA microarray produced by DNA-deposition technology, DNA-immobilization and -hybridization yields on a solid support are most important factors for its accuracy and sensitivity. We have developed a dendrimeric support using silylated aldehyde slides and polyamidoamine (PAMAM) dendrimers. An oligonucleotide array was prepared through a crosslinking between the dendrimeric support and an oligonucleotide. Both DNAimmobilization and -hybridization yields on the solid support increased by the modification with the dendrimers. The increase of the immobilization and hybridization efficiency seems to result from a threedimensional arrangement of the attached oligonucleotide. Therefore, our dendrimeric support may provide a simple and efficient solution to the preparation of DNA microarrays with high-density DNA-deposition and high hybridization efficiency.

E. coli has long been widely used as a host system for the manufacture of recombinant proteins intended for human therapeutic use. When considering the impurities to be eliminated during the downstream process, residual host cell DNA is a major safety concern. The presence of residual E. coli host cell DNA in the final products is typically determined using a conventional slot blot hybridization assay or total DNA Threshold assay. However, both the former and latter methods are time consuming, expensive, and relatively insensitive. This study thus attempted to develop a more sensitive real-time PCR assay for the specific detection of residual E. coli DNA. This novel method was then compared with the slot blot hybridization assay and total DNA Threshold assay in order to determine its effectiveness and overall capabilities. The novel approach involved the selection of a specific primer pair for amplification of the E. coli 16S rRNA gene in an effort to improve sensitivity, whereas the E. coli host cell DNA quantification took place through the use of SYBR Green I. The detection limit of the real-time PCR assay, under these optimized conditions, was calculated to be 0.042 pg genomic DNA, which was much higher than those of both the slot blot hybridization assay and total DNA Threshold assay, where the detection limits were 2.42 and 3.73 pg genomic DNA, respectively. Hence, the real-time PCR assay can be said to be more reproducible, more accurate, and more precise than either the slot blot hybridization assay or total DNA Threshold assay. The real-time PCR assay may thus be a promising new tool for the quantitative detection and clearance validation of residual E. coli host cell DNA during the manufacturingprocess for recombinant therapeutics.

There are a number of ways in which environmental microbiology and microbial ecology will benefit from DNA micro array technology. These include community genome arrays, SSU rDNA arrays, environmental functional gene arrays, population biology arrays, and there are clearly more different applications of microarray technology that can be applied to relevant problems in environmental microbiology. Two types of the applications, bacterial identification chip and functional gene detection chip, will be presented. For the bacterial identification chip, a new approach employing random genome fragments that eliminates the disadvantages of traditional DNA-DNA hybridization is proposed to identify and type bacteria based on genomic DNA-DNA similarity. Bacterial genomes are fragmented randomly, and representative fragments are spotted on a glass slide and then hybridized to test genomes. Resulting hybridization profiles are used in statistical procedures to identify test strains. Second, the direct binding version of microarray with a different array design and hybridization scheme is proposed to quantify target genes in environmental samples. Reference DNA was employed to normalize variations in spot size and hybridization. The approach for designing quantitative microarrays and the inferred equation from this study provide a simple and convenient way to estimate the target gene concentration from the hybridization signal ratio.

Enterobacter agglomerans의 질소고정유전자에 대한 연구가 보고된 바가 없으므로 이 질소고정유전자의 특성을 연구할 목적으로 국내 논의 흙에서 분리한 질소고정활성을 갖는 E. agglomerans NFB-264의 질소고정유전자를 cloning 하였다. E. agglomerans NFB-264의 total DNA를 Hind III로 절단하여 부분적으로 pBR 322에 연결하여 Escherichia coli K060에 도입한 후 negative selection 및 colony hybridization 방법으로 형질전환미생물을 선별하였다. 형질전환미생물로부터 recombinant plasmid인 pNEL10과 pNES20을 얻었다. pNEL 10은 nif Q-X probe DNA와 hybridization 되는 12Mdal의 삽입외래 DNA를 함유하였으며, pNES20은 nif NE와 nif YK probe DNA와 hybridization 되는 5 Mdal의 외래 DNA가 삽입되어 있었다.
