The objectives of this study were to confirm a location of the calpastatin (CAST) gene in chromosome 2 and to detect associations of genetic variations with economic traits in the porcine CAST gene as a candidate gene for growth and meat quality traits in pigs. Calpastatin is a specific endogenous inhibitor of calpains. The calpain protease system is ubiquitous, and is involved in numerous growth and metabolic processes. Three single nucleotide variations were identified within a 1.6 kb fragment of the porcine CAST gene and these polymorphisms were used for genetic linkage mapping. Linkage and QTL mapping were performed with the National Livestock Research Institute (NLRI) reference families using eight microsatellites and SNP makers in the CAST gene. The porcine CAST gene was mapped adjacent to the markers, SW395 and SW1695 on SSC2 with LOD scores of 15.32 and 8.50, respectively. According to the QTL mapping, a significant association was detected at 82 cM between SW395 and CAST-Hinf I for weight at the age of 30 weeks. In addition, an association study was performed with the $F_2$ animals of NLRI reference families for Hinf I, Msp I and Rsa I polymorphisms in the CAST gene. Two polymorphisms, CAST-Rsa I and CAST-Hinf I, showed significant correlation for growth traits at p<0.01 and p<0.05, respectively.

A human-specific retroposon SINE-R.C2 has been derived from a human endogenous retrovirus HER V-K 10. It is absent in the genome of nonhuman primates and present within the third intron of the human C2 gene that is located in the class III region of the major histocompatibility complex. In the present study, we determined the regional location of the human C2 gene. The analysis of the Genebridge 4 radiation hybrid mapping panel using PCR amplification located the C2 gene between D6S1422 (10.1 cR) and CHLC.GATA4A03 (21.3) with a lod score of>3.0. This allowed us to localize C2 gene on the human chromosome 6 band p21.31.

In the last decade, rapid developments in molecular biotechnology and of genomic tools have enabled the creation of dense linkage maps across whole genomes of human, plant and animals. Successful development and implementation of interval mapping methodologies have allowed detection of the quantitative trait loci (QTL) responsible for economically important traits in experimental and commercial livestock populations. The candidate gene approach can be used in any general population with the availability of a large resource of candidate genes from the human or rodent genomes using comparative maps, and the validated candidate genes can be directly applied to commercial breeds. For the QTL detected from primary genome scans, two incipient fine mapping approaches are applied by generating new recombinants over several generations or utilizing historical recombinants with identity-by-descent (IBD) and linkage disequilibrium (LD) mapping. The high resolution definition of QTL position from fine mapping will allow the more efficient implementation of breeding programs such as marker-assisted selection (MAS) or marker-assisted introgression (MAI), and will provide a route toward cloning the QTL.

The objective of this study was to map the gene for reduced embryo size in rice using DNA markers. The reduced embryo size mutant was induced from N-methyl-N-nitrosourea (MNU) treated Taichung 65. Genetic analysis revealed that the phenotype of the reduced embryo was controlled by a single recessive gene, designated as re-1. For mapping the gene controlling embryo size, an $F_2$ population was developed from a cross between the Korean Tongil-type, Milyang 23 (Oryza sativa ssp. indica) and the mutant. The ratio of $F_2$ seeds nearly fitted to 3:1 ratio, indicating that this phenotype was controlled by a single recessive gene. Bulked sergeant analysis was performed with SSR markers. The gene for the reduced embryo size was detected on chromosome 1. The gene was further mapped between two SSR markers, RM315 and RM265 on chromosome 1 (approximately 1.5 Mb interval). The linked markers will facilitate selection of this grain character in a breeding program and provide the foundation for positional cloning of this gene.

박테리오파지 E3가 만드는 plaque은 그 지름이 약 1㎝정도이고 대단히 빠르게 성장한다. 구조 단백질 중 가장 많은 copy를 가지는 major capsid 단백질을 발현하는 유전자를 조절하는 promoter가 가장 효율적일 것이라 생각되며, 이 promoter를 찾기 위하여 먼저 이 유전자를 mapping하였다. 정제한 파지 입자로부터 major capsid 단백질을 분리하여 그 N-terminal amino acid 서열을 확인하였고, 그에 해당하는 degenerate oligonucleotide probe를 이용하여 E3의 genomic library로부터 major capsid 단백질을 발현하는 유전자를 함유하는 clone을 찾았다. 이 clone의 DNA 서열 분석을 통하여 major capsid 단백질을 발현하는 유전자를 확인하였으며, 이는 E3 genome에서 약 72%에 mapping 되었다. 이 gene을 조절하는 promoter의 성질을 고찰하기 위하여 E3의 성장이 rifampicin에 의하여 영향을 받는지 확인한 결과 E3는 자기 고유의 RNA polymerase를 가지고 있음을 알 수 있었다.

Comparative maps, representing chromosomal locations of homologous genes in different species, are useful sources of information for identifying candidate disease genes and genes determining complex traits. They facilitate gene mapping and linkage prediction in other species, and provide information on genome organization and evolution. Here, the current gene mapping and comparative mapping status of the major livestock species are presented. Two techniques were widely used in comparative mapping: FISH (Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization) and PCR-based mapping using somatic cell hybrid (SCH) or radiation hybrid (RH) panels. New techniques, using, for example, ESTs (Expressed Sequence Tags) or CASTS (Comparatively Anchored Sequence Tagged Sites), also have been developed as useful tools for analyzing comparative genome organization in livestock species, further enabling accurate transfer of valuable information from one species to another.

A mutant of Bacillus subtilis with a defective cdd gene encoding deoxycytidine-cytidine deaminase (EC 3.5.4.5) has been characterized genetically. The genetic lesion, cdd, causing the altered deoxycytidine-cytidine deaminase was mapped at 225 min on the linkage map of B. subtilis by AR9 transduction, Transductional analysis of the cdd region established the gene order in clockwise as trp-lys-cdd-aroD. The cdd gene was linked 72% with the aroD and 20% with the lys.

Lactobacillus casei SM-M1 의 플라스미드로부터 phospho-$\beta$-galactosidase gene 을 갖는 DNA 를 E. coli 에 클로닝한 pPLac15(13kb) 의 재조합 플라스미드를 제조하였다.(15). pPLac15 DNA 를 분리하여 제한효소로 처리하여 제한효소 지도를 작성하였다. Phospho-$\beta$-galactosidase 유전자의 발현을 높이기 위하여 lac promoter 를 가진 pUC18 의 PstI 위치에 클닝하여 pPLac18 을 제조하였으며, 이것을 다시 EcoRI 으로 절단하여 pUC 18 에 클로닝하여 얻은 pPLac23 (7.6 kb) 를 얻었다. Phospho-$\beta$-galactosidase 효소활성은 pPLac23 의 형질전환주인 E. coli SW-23 에서는 pPLac15 를 가진 형질전환주인 E. coli SW-15 보다 약 1.8 배의 효소의 활성을 나타내었으며 pPLac18 을 가진 E. coli SW-18 보다는 약간 높은 활성을 나타내었다.
