Objective: The oxidized low density lipoprotein receptor 1 (OLR1) gene plays an important role in the degradation of oxidized low-density lipoprotein and adipocyte proliferation in mammals. For this reason, we aimed at investigating the association of OLR1 gene polymorphisms with carcass quality traits in Chinese Qinchuan cattle. Methods: The single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) was identified in the 3' untranslated region of bovine OLR1 gene by DNA sequencing. In addition, the haplotype frequency and linkage disequilibrium estimates of three SNPs were evaluated in 520 individuals. Results: Results indicated that the studied three SNPs were within the range of moderate genetic diversity (0.25< polymorphism information content<0.5). Haplotype analysis of three SNPs showed that ten different haplotypes were identified, but only five haplotypes were listed as those with a frequency of <0.05 were excluded. The Hap3 ($-G_1T_2C_3-$) had the highest haplotype frequency (42.10%). Linkage disequilibrium analysis showed that the three SNPs had a low linkage ($r^2<0.001$). The T10588C and C10647T were significantly associated with backfat thickness and intramuscular fat content in Qinchuan cattle. Conclusion: Based on our results, we believe that the OLR1 gene could be a strong candidate gene for influencing carcass quality traits in Qinchuan cattle.

A single recessive gene, rxp, controls the bacterial leaf pustule (BLP) resistance in soybean and in our previous article, it has been mapped on linkage group (LG) D2 of molecular genetic map of soybean. A total of 130 recombinant inbred lines (RILs) from a cross between BLP-resistant SS2-2 and BLP-susceptible Jangyeobkong were used to identify molecular markers linked to rxp. Fifteen simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers on LG D2 were screened to construct a genetic map of rxp locus. Only four SSR markers, Satt135, Satt372, Satt448, and Satt486, showed parental polymorphisms. Using these markers, genetic scaffold map was constructed covering 26.2cM. Based on the single analysis of variance, Satt372 among these four SSR markers was the most significantly associated with the resistance to BLP. To develop new amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) marker linked to the resistance gene, bulked segregant analysis (BSA) was employed. Resistance and susceptible bulks were made by pooling equal amount of genomic DNAs from ten of each in the segregating population. A total of 192 primer combinations were used to identify specific bands to the resistance, selecting three putative AFLP markers. These AFLP markers produced the fragment present in SS2-2 and the resistant bulk, and not in Jangyeobkong and the susceptible bulk. Linkage analysis revealed that McctEact97 $(P=0.0004,\;R^2=14.67\%)$ was more significant than Satt372, previously reported as the most closely linked marker.

Severe acute alcoholic liver disease (SAAH) unresponsive to medical therapy shows one-year-mortality rates of up to 90%. Most transplant centers request six months of alcohol abstinence prior to transplantation, the so-called "6-month rule." This regulation is not based on strong evidence, repeatedly making it a topic of controversial debates. The majority of patients with SAAH will die before fulfilling the 6-month rule. Therefore, liver transplantation (LT) protocols are becoming more flexible towards the rigid abstinence regulation, especially concerning SAAH patients. We conducted a literature review regarding LT in SAAH and its outcomes, including post-transplant mortality and recidivism. We studied available data on PubMed from 2011 and onwards whilst including articles dealing with genetic components, medical therapy and historic snapshots of alcoholism. Emerging studies recommend LT in SAAH not responding to medical therapies even without realizing the required abstinence period, since the majority of these patients would die within 6 months. SAAH without response to medical therapy has one-year-mortality rates of up to 90%. The 6-month rule is not based on strong evidence and is repeatedly a topic of controversial debates. There is genetic linkage to alcoholism and medical therapy is not as effective as estimated, yet. The 6-months-regulation has not shown to evidently decrease the risk of recidivism post-LT, which is a lifesaving treatment in SAAH patients. Insisting on rigid sobriety rules results in excluding patients with a low risk of recidivism from being transplanted. Moreover, the genetic linkage of alcoholism must be recognized.

소나무 단일개체에서 채취한 풍매종자 중 임의로 선택한 96개의 반수체 genome을 이용하여 RAPD 및 I-SSR PCR 증폭산물을 분석하였다. RAPD 분석용 primer 200개와 I-SSR 분석 용 primer 90개를 screen하여 증폭산물의 분획양상이 선명한 RAPD primer 45개와 I-SSR primer 22개를 선택하여 PCR을 수행하였다. 45개의 RAPD primer중 25개와 22개의 I-SSR primer중 18개를 사용한 PCR 분석결과에서 멘델의 유전양식을 만족하는 52개 (2.08/primer)와 46개 (2.56/primer)의 다형성 유전자좌를 각각 확인하였다. 멘델의 유전양식을 만족하는 96개의 다형성 유전자좌를 대상으로 LOD 3.0에서 two-point 연관분석을 수행한 결과 총 63개(35개의 RAPD와 26개의 I-SSR)의 유전자화가 20개의 연관군에 속하는 것이 확인되었다. 총 연관거리는 1097.8 cM이었으며, 유전자좌간 평균연관 거리는 25.5 cM, 최소 및 최대연관 거리는 각각 4.3 cM 및 54.9 cM이었다. 그리고 20개의 연관군 중 14개의 연관군이 RAPD와 I-SSR 유전자좌의 통합에 의해서 형성된 연관군이었다. 즉, 52개의 RAPD와 46개의 I-SSR 유전자좌를 각각 분석한 결과보다 길고 새로운 연관군이 형성되었다. 보다 정밀한 유전자 연관지도를 작성하기 위해서는 보다 많은 수의 DNA marker가 필요하다고 판단되며, 본 연구의 결과는 소나무의 유용 유전자의 확인 및 생장과 재질과 같은 유용형질에 대한 QTL의 위치를 결정하는 데 기초자료가 될 것이다.

The aim of this study was to determine whether single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) in the beef cattle adipocyte fatty-acid binding protein 3 and 4 (FABP3 and FABP4) genes are associated with carcass weight (CW) and back fat thickness (BF) of beef cattle. By direct DNA sequencing in 24 unrelated Korean native cattle, we identified 20 SNPs in FABP3 and FABP4. Among them, 10 polymorphic sites were selected for genotyping in our beef cattle. We performed SNP, haplotype and linkage disequilibrium studies on 419 Korean native cattle with the 10 SNPs in the FABP genes. Statistical analysis revealed that 220A>G (I74V) and 348+303T>C polymorphisms in FABP4 showed putative associations with BF traits (P=0.02 and 0.01, respectively). Our findings suggest that the polymorphisms in FABP4 may play a role in determining one of the important genetic factors that influence BF in beef cattle.

RAPD 연관지도를 RFLP 연관지도와 합병을 하는 것은 각각의 유전 marker들의 단점을 서로 보완하여 세밀화된 유전자 지도작성을 용이하게 할 수 있다. 본 연구는 Essex와 PI 437654의 $F_2$ 및 $F_3$ 후대계통들을 재료로 하여 작성된 RAPD 연관지도를 콩의 RFLP 연관지도와 합병을 함에 있어서 나타난 몇가지 특징들을 기술하고자 함을 목적으로 하는 바 그 특징들은 아래와 같이 요약된다. 1. RAPD 연관지도상에서의 RFLP probe들의 위치가 RFLP 연관지도상에서의 위치와 부분적으로 변동된 현상이 나타났다. RAPD 연관그룹 L.G.C-3을 RFLP 연관그룹 a1 및 a2와 합병하는 과정에서 pSAC3와 pA136, 그리고 pA170/EcoRV와 pB170/HindIII이 서로 반대방향으로 위치하였다. pK400은 RFLP 연관지도상에서는 pA96-1과 pB172의 사이에 위치한 반면 RAPD 연관지도상에서는 i locus와 pA85 사이에 위치하였다. 2. RAPD 연관지도상에서의 두 marker들간의 간격이 RFLP 연관지도상에서의 간격보다 멀어진 현상이 두드러지게 나타났다. pA890과 pK493간의 간격은 RAPD 연관그룹 L.G.C-1에서는 48.6 cM이었던 반면 RFLP 연관 그룹상에서는 단지 13.3 cM으로 나타났다. 또한 pB32-2와 pA670, pA670과 pA668사이의 간격은 RAPD 연관그룹 L.G.C-2에서는 50.9 cM과 31.7 cM이었던 반면, RFLP 연관지도상에서의 간격은 각각 35.9 cM과 13.5 cM으로 나타났다. 3. 하나의 RFLP probe로부터 두개 이상의 다형화 현상을 나타낸 marker들이 동일한 연관그룹이나 다른 연관그룹에 위치하는 현상이 나타났다. 제한효소 HindIII로 절단된 probe pK418은 세개의 marker를 나타내었는데, 그 중 하나는 L.G.C-20에 위치하였으며, 다른 두개는 L.G.C-4에 위치하였다. 위에 나타난 특징들은 RAPD 연관지도는 intraspecific cross의 후대계통들을 재료로 하여 작성된 반면 RFLP 연관지도는 interspecific cross의 후대계통들을 재료로 하여 작성된 결과에선 비롯된 차이점 때문인 것으로 추측된다.

Although the genetic basis for bone mineral density (BMD) has been studied by many groups so far, genes responsible for this complex trait has not been completely revealed. In order to localize quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for BMD variation in Asian population, the study was designed using a group of Mongolian population, a genetically closed population with a homogeneous lifestyle. BMD was measured at the left and right wrists and ankles using DEXA in 1,082 participants from 142 families. Genotyping of 13 polymorphic microsatellite markers on chromosome 13 (average spacing 8-9 cM) and two-point and multipoint linkage analysis were performed. In two-point linkage analysis, we identified two markers, D13S175 (6.03 cM) and D13S265 (68.73 cM) that had LOD scores greater than 1 for left ankle (LOD=2.09, LOD=1.49, respectively). We also found a marker D13S175 (6.03 cM) with a high LOD for left wrist (LOD=1.49) and the markers D13S265 (68.73 cM) and D13S217 (17.21 cM) for the right wrist (LOD= 1.82, LOD= 1.62, respectively). Among these significant marker regions, only two regions at 17 cM (13p11) and 65 cM (13q21) for the right wrist overlapped with major QTLs reported in following multipoint linkage analysis (LOD= 1.7549, LOD=1.4462, respectively). This study provides the possible evidence of the presence of QTLs affecting right wrist BMD in Mongolian populations on 13p11 and 13q21. Modest evidence was also found for genes affecting left ankle and left wrist BMD on 13p13.

본 실험의 목적은 starch의 alcohol발효에 있어서 전분의 $\alpha$-1.4 linkage을 분해하여 alcohol발효를 하는 S diastaticus와 전분 중의 $\alpha$-1.4, $\alpha$-1.6 linkage를 모두 분해할 수 있는 C. tropicalis 간의 이속간의 protoplast fusion을 시켰다. 이때 세포 융합의 빈도는 $10^{-5}$-$10^{-6}$이였으며, 이틀 융합체중 amylase 생성능과 유전적으로 안정한 융합체를 분리하였다. fusant의 성질을 조사하기 위하여 탄소원 자화능을 조사한바 parent와 달리 탄소원 자화능이 일부 보완됨을 보였고 또한 fusant는 원 parent보다 세포의 크기가 클 뿐만아니라, DNA함량도 많았다. spore형성능은 S. diastaticus A4는 spore를 형성하나 C. tropicalis는 형성할 수 없는 반면에 fusant는 형성하였고, Cu$^{++}$ 내성과 NaCl 내염성도 조사하였는데 fusant는 parent의 중간 성질을 가졌다. Fusant의 증식율을 조사하기 위하여 생육도를 조사한 결과 Parent보다 유도기가 길었음을 알았다.
