Mongolian horses are one of the oldest horse breeds, and are very important livestock in Mongolia as they are used in various fields such as transportation, food (milk, meat), and horse racing. In addition, research and preservation on pure Mongolian breeds are being promoted under the implementation of the new Genetics of Livestock Resources' act in Mongolia. However, despite the implementation of this act, genetic research on Mongolian horses using microsatellites (MS) has not progressed enough. Therefore, this study was conducted to analyze the genetic polymorphism of five breeds (Gobi shankh, Tes, Gal shar, Darkhad, and Undurshil) using 14 MS markers recommended by International Society for Animal Genetics (ISAG). The mean number of alleles (MNA) was 8.29, expected heterozygosity frequency (H_Exp) was 0.767, observed heterozygosity frequency (H_Obs) was 0.752, and polymorphism information content (PIC) was 0.729. The Nei's genetic distance analysis showed that the genetic distance between Gobi shankh and Darkhad horses was the farthest, and the other three breeds, Tes, Gal shar, and Undurshil were found to be close to each other. Similarly, the principal coordinate analysis (PCoA) and factorial correspondence analysis (FCA) showed that the Gobi shankh and Darkhad horses were genetically distinct from other breeds. On the other hand, it appears that Tes, Gal shar, and Undurshil horses, which are genetically similar, most likely interbred with each other. Therefore, it is expected that these results will help the conservation of genetic resources in Mongolia and the establishment of policies related to Mongolian horses.

A number of Korean Chicken breeds were registered in Domestic Animal Diversity Information System (DAD-IS, http://dad.fao.org/) of the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO). Evaluation of genetic diversity and relationship of local breeds is an important factor towards the identification of unique and valuable genetic resources. Therefore, this study aimed to analysis the genetic diversity and relationship of 22 Korean Chicken breeds using 12 microsatellite (MS) markers. The mean number of alleles for each variety was 5.52, ranging from a 3.75 (Leghorn F; NF) to a 7.0 (Ross). The most diverse breed was the Hanhyup3 (HCC), which had the highest expected heterozygosity (H_Exp) (0.754) and polymorphic information content (PIC) (0.711). The NF was the least diverse population, having the lowest H_Exp (0.467) and PIC (0.413). As a result of the principal coordinates analysis (PCoA) and factorial correspondence analysis (FCA) confirmed that Hy-line Brown (HL) and Lohmann Brown (LO) are very close to each other and that Leghorn and Rhode Island Red (RIR) are clearly distinguished from other groups. Thus, the reliability and power of identification using 12 types of MS markers were improved, and the genetic diversity and probability of individual discrimination were confirmed through statistical analysis. This study is expected to be used as basic data for the identification of Korean chicken breeds, and our results indicated that these multiplex PCR marker sets will have considerable applications in population genetic structure analysis.

MS 마커는 가축의 유전적 다양성, 유연관계 및 품종식별의 연구에 있어서 매우 유용하다. 본 연구는 26개의 MS 마커를 이용하여 토종닭 브랜드 2집단(우리맛닭, 한협3호)과 토착종 순계 2집단(화이트 레그혼, 로드 아일랜드 레드)을 대상으로 집단내 및 집단간의 유전적 다양성, 계통유전학적 관계, 유전적 균일성 등을 검증하여 고유 유전자원으로서의 가치 구명 및 개체식별력이 높은 마커를 선별하여 토종닭 브랜드 계육의 생산이력시스템에 활용 가능한 기초자료를 제시하고자 실시 하였다. 대립 유전자형 분석결과 총 191개 중 47개(24.6%)가 집단 특이 대립 유전자였으며, 다형성지수의 평균은 $H_{Exp}$=0.667, PIC=0.630으로 산출 되었다. 공시된 320수 개체에 대한 요인대응분석(FCA) 결과 4개의 군집을 형성하였지만 2개 토종닭 브랜드 집단은 타 집단에 비해 매우 가까운 거리에 위치하고 있었으며, 집단간의 $D_A$ 유전거리 결과 또한 이와 동일했다. 각 집단에 대한 유전적 균일도는 모든 집단에서 94% 이상으로 높았다. 이상의 결과는 2개 토종닭 브랜드 집단은 유전적으로 유사하지만 토종닭 순계 집단과는 유전적인 차이가 크며, 순계 2집단 또한 유전적으로 확연히 분리됨을 증명 할 수 있다. 26개 MS마커 사용시 동일개체 출현확률(PI)은 $1.17{\times}10^{-49}$였다. 2011년 기준으로 닭 사육수수 149,511,309수를 고려해 PI 값이 높은 마커 9~12개 정도를 선별 및 분석에 이용 한다면 동일개체 출현확률(PI)이 $1.14{\times}10^{-15}$에서 $7.33{\times}10^{-20}$이므로 개체식별 및 친자 감별이 가능할 것으로 사료된다. 향후 경제적 효율성을 고려하여 MS 마커 및 mtDNA의 SNP를 기반으로 multiplexing PCR 시스템을 확립을 위한 연구가 이행된다면 토종닭 브랜드육의 생산이력시스템에 적용이 가능할 것으로 판단된다.
