  • Four hundred and sixty five randomly selected clones from a cDNA library of Blattella germanica were partially sequenced and searched using BLAST as a means of analyzing the transcribed sequences of its genome. A total of 363 expressed sequence tags (ESTs) were generated from 465 clones after editing and trimming the vector and ambiguous sequences. About $42\%$ (154/363) of these clones showed significant homology with other data base registered genes. These new B. germanica genes constituted a broad range of transcripts distributed among ribosomal proteins, energy metabolism, allergens, proteases, protease inhibitors, enzymes, translation, cell signaling path-ways, and proteins of unknown function. Eighty clones were not well-matched by database searches, and these rep-resent new B. germanica-specific ESTs. Some genes which drew our attention are discussed. The information obtained increases our understanding of the B. germanica genome.

  • Fomitopsis palustris, a brown-rot basidiomycete, causes the most destructive type of decay in wooden structures. In spite of its great economic importance, very little information is available at the molecular level regarding its complex decay process. To address this, we generated over 3,000 expressed sequence tags (ESTs) from a cDNA library constructed from F. palustris. Clustering of 3,095 high-quality ESTs resulted in a set of 1,403 putative unigenes comprising 485 contigs and 918 singlets. Homology searches based on BlastX analysis revealed that 78% of the F. palustris unigenes had a significant match to proteins deposited in the nonredundant databases. A subset of F. palustris unigenes showed similarity to the carbohydrateactive enzymes (CAZymes), including a range of glycosyl hydrolase (GH) family proteins. Some of these CAZyme-encoded genes were previously undescribed for F. palustris but predicted to have potential roles in biodegradation of wood. Among them, we identified and characterized a gene (FpCel45A) encoding the GH family 45 endoglucanase. Moreover, we also provided functional classification of 473 (34%) of F. palustris unigenes using the Gene Ontology hierarchy. The annotated EST data sets and related analysis may be useful in providing an initial insight into the genetic background of F. palustris.

  • In order to study gene expression transcribted during the embryo development, we constructed a cDNA library of embryogenic callus induced from cotylendon of Korean ginseng and generated expressed sequence tags (ESTs) of 3,359 clones randomly selected. The ESTs could be clustered into 1,910 (59.1%) non-redundant groups. Similarity search of the non-redundant ESTs against public non-redundant databases of both protein and DNA indicated that 2,217 groups show similarity to genes of known function. These ESTs clones were divided into eighteen categories depending upon gene function. Most abundant transcripts were ribosomal protein small subunit 28kDa(40), tumor-related protein(35), metallothionein (31), small heat-shock protein class 18.6K(24), and cyclophilin(20). There are no useful informations of gene expression during the embryo development in Korean ginseng. These results could help to understand the embryo development in Korean ginseng.

  • 한국 재래 닭의 유전적 특성 규명 및 기능 유전체 연구의 기초재료를 확보하고자 대량 EST 염기서열 결정 및 생물정보학 분석을 실시하였다. 대량 EST 염기서열 분석을 위한 첫 번째 단계로 재래 닭의 뇌, 비장, 정소, 배아 생식기를 이용하여 cDNA library를 구축하였다. 각각의 library로부터 총 15,121개의 클론을 선정하여 염기서열을 결정하였다. 생물정보학 분석결과 15,121개의 염기서열은 총 10,353개의 contig로 정리되었다. 이들 염기서열을 기존 데이터베이스를 대상으로 tBlastX(http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/BLAST) 분석을 실시한 결과, 염기서열 중 56 %가 기존 데이터베이스에 존재하는 유전자와의 상동성을 보였다. 상동성을 보이는 유전자들은 유전자의 구조 및 기능 분석에 이용될 것이고, 상동성을 보이지 않는 유전자들은 microarray와 같은 대량 유전자 발현분석 시스템을 이용하여 선별한 후 기능분석이 실시될 것이다.
