It has been hypothesized that efficient exclusion of methylated retrotransposons and repeated DNA region is one of the rapid and cost-effective approaches for comprehensive gene discovery in large genome size of maize. Three kinds of methylation-sensitive restriction enzymes, HapII, MspI and McrBC, were used to identify the restriction frequency of cytosine methylation sites in maize genome. Roughly 60% of total maize genomic DNA was restricted less than 500bp by McrBC, and the most of restricted small size fraction was composed retrotransposon. In order to validate the efficient construction of gene-rich shotgun library, we compare two gene-rich methyl-filtration shotgun libraries using in vivo and in vitro methyl-filtration system. The size selected DNA fraction by Sau3A-McrBC enzyme treated was very stable and has not appeared modification in E. coli, but most insert DNA size of partially digested with Sau3A were decrease less than 500bp by bacterial methylation-modification system. In compare of retroelements portion, A 44.6% of the sequences were retroelement in unmethyl-filtered library, and the most of them was Copia type, such as Prem, Opie and Ji. The portion of retroelement was drastically decreased to 25% and 20% by in vivo and in vitro filtration system, respectively.

지금까지 양구슬냉이의 유전정보는 거의 연구되지 않았으므로 우리는 양구슬냉이의 잎으로부터 cDNA library를 제작하고 발현유전자의 종류와 기능별 분류를 조사하였다. 그 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1. cDNA library에서 1334개 의 클론들을 얻었고 삽입된 단편들의 염기서열의 평균길이는 736bp였다. 우리는 1269개의 high-quality expressed sequence tags (ESTs) 서열을 얻었다. 이러한 EST의 클러스터 분석결과 고유 염기서열(unigene)을 가진 유전자의 수는 851개를 나타냈다. 2. Unigene 476개는 GeneBank에 기능이 알려진 유전자들과 고도의 상동성을 나타내었다. 다른 375개의 unigene들은 기능이 알려지지 않은 것들이었다. 나머지 63개는 NCBI데이터베이스에 어떤 유전자와도 상동성을 보이지 않았고 이러한 유전자들은 아마도 양구슬냉이의 잎에서 발현되는 새로운 유전자일 것으로 보인다. 3. 데이터베이스에서 상동성을 나타낸 EST들을 기능별 주석에 따라서 17개의 카테고리로 분류하였다. 대표적으로 가장 분포도가 높은 카테고리는 결합 기능 또는 보조인자 요구의 단백질(27%), 대사(11%), 세포 소기관 위치(11%), 세포수송과 수송기관 그리고 수송 경로(7%), 에너지(6%), 대사와 단백질 기능의 조절(6%) 등이 있다. 이러한 우리의 연구 결과는 양구슬냉이의 유용한 유전적 자원과 전반적인 mRNA 발현 정보를 제공해 줌으로써 대체 에너지 작물로 떠오르는 양구슬냉이의 다양한 분자적 연구에 기여할 것으로 사료된다.

Herbicide-tolerant Zoysia grass has been previously developed through Agrobacterium-mediated transformation. We investigated the effects of genetically modified (GM) Zoysia grass and the associated herbicide application on bacterial community structure by using culture-independent approaches. To assess the possible horizontal gene transfer (HGT) of transgenic DNA to soil microorganisms, total soil DNAs were amplified by PCR with two primer sets for the bar and hpt genes, which were introduced into the GM Zoysia grass by a callus-type transformation. The transgenic genes were not detected from the total genomic DNAs extracted from 1.5 g of each rhizosphere soils of GM and non-GM Zoysia grasses. The structures and diversities of the bacterial communities in rhizosphere soils of GM and non-GM Zoysia grasses were investigated by constructing 16S rDNA clone libraries. Classifier, provided in the RDP II, assigned 100 clones in the 16S rRNA gene sequences library into 11 bacterial phyla. The most abundant phyla in both clone libraries were Acidobacteria and Proteobacteria. The bacterial diversity of the GM clone library was lower than that of the non- GM library. The former contained four phyla, whereas the latter had seven phyla. Phylogenetic trees were constructed to confirm these results. Phylogenetic analyses of the two clone libraries revealed considerable difference from each other. The significance of difference between clone libraries was examined with LIBSHUFF statistics. LIBSHUFF analysis revealed that the two clone libraries differed significantly (P<0.025), suggesting alterations in the composition of the microbial community associated with GM Zoysia grass.

A cDNA clone encoding chloroplast triosephosphate isomerase (TPI-cp) was isolated from strawberry fruit cDNA library. Sequence analyses indicated that the cDNA contains an open reading frame of 314 amino acids (33.5 kDa) composed of a transit peptide (59 amino acids) in amino terminal region and mature protein (255 amino acids). The existence of transit peptide in the deduced amino acid sequence implies that it encodes a chloroplast isoform. The protein sequence is more similar to other plant chloroplast isoforms than cytosolic isoforms. RNA blot analysis indicated that its expression is ubiquitous in examined five tissues, flowers, leaves, petioles, roots and fruits, and shows differential pattern according to fruit ripening. Genomic DNA blot analysis showed that TPI-cp is encoded by multiple genes in strawberry. Through sequence comparison and phylogenetic tree construction, TPI-cp is distinctively grouped into dicot and chloroplast isoforms.

To clone the gene coding for steroid $\Delta^1$-dehydrogenase of Arthrobacter simplex, its genomic library was constructed with a , $\lambda$gt11 expression vector and immunoscreened with antiserum against the enzyme. One positive clone was found to carry a 1.6-kb EcoR I restriction endonuclease fragment of A. simplex DNA. The restriction map of the 1.6-kb EcoR I fragment was determined after cloning of the DNA into pBS vector.

Advancements in next generation sequencing (NGS) technologies have significantly increased the translational use of genomics data in the medical field as well as the demand for computational infrastructure capable processing that data. To enhance the current understanding of software and hardware used to compute large scale human genomic datasets (NGS), the performance and accuracy of optimized versions of GATK algorithms, including Parabricks and Sentieon, were compared to the results of the original application (GATK V4.1.0, Intel x86 CPUs). Parabricks was able to process a 50× whole-genome sequencing library in under 3 h and Sentieon finished in under 8 h, whereas GATK v4.1.0 needed nearly 24 h. These results were achieved while maintaining greater than 99% accuracy and precision compared to stock GATK. Sentieon's somatic pipeline achieved similar results greater than 99%. Additionally, the IBM POWER9 CPU performed well on bioinformatic workloads when tested with 10 different tools for alignment/mapping.

A genomic library of a mesophilic cellulolytic anaerobe, Clostridium sp. KCTC 8440 DNA was constructed in Escherichia coli using plasmid pUC9. Clones of E. coli exhibiting carboxymethyl cellulose-hydrolyzing activity (CMCase) were isolated and divided into seven types based on the restriction enzyme patterns of recombinant plasmids. E. coli strains carrying type A genes showed activity on carboxymethyl cellulose about 7-8 times greater than clones carrying genes of other types. Restriction maps of the cloned DNA fragments were determined, and homologies between them were investigated. The results suggest that Clostridium sp. KCTC 8440 has seven distinct CMCase genes.

Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is a small secretory protein and a member of the nerve growth factor (NGF) gene family. We cloned the flounder BDNF gene from a flounder brain cDNA library. The nucleotide sequence of the cloned gene showed an open reading frame (ORF) consisting of 810 bp, corresponding to 269 amino acid residues. The tissue distribution of flounder BDNF was determined by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) in brain, embryo, and muscle tissues. To express fBDNF using a eukaryotic expression system, we constructed the vector mpCTV-BDNF containing the fBDNF gene and transformed this vector into Chlorella ellipsoidea. Stable integration of introduced DNA was confirmed by PCR analysis of genomic DNA, and mRNA expression in C. ellipsoidae was confirmed by RT-PCR analysis.
