From development of computer science, genetic algorithm has been applied to many fields for search like non-linear problem based on various variables and optimization process. Among others, in the data mining field, there are methods to select the best input variables for model accuracy and various predict models which were merged by using the genetic algorithm. In the meantime, to improve and preserve quality of the Hanwoo (Korean cattle) which is represented the agricultural industry in our country, we need to find out outstanding economical traits of Hanwoo in having specific genotype of single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) which is inherited to next generation. According to, This research proposed the selecting method to find genotype of SNPs marker which affects economical traits of the Hanwoo by using the genetic algorithm. And we selected the best genotypes of the principal SNPs marker by applying to real data on Hanwoo genetic.

Many researchers have found that one of the most important characteristics of the structure of linkage disequilibrium is that the human genome can be divided into non-overlapping block partitions in which only a small number of haplotypes are observed. The location and distribution of haplotype blocks can be seen as a population property influenced by population genetic events such as selection, mutation, recombination and population structure. In this study, we investigate the effects of the density of markers relative to the full set of all polymorphisms in the region on the results of haplotype partitioning for five popular haplotype block partition methods: three methods in Haploview (confidence interval, four gamete test, and solid spine), MIG++ implemented in PLINK 1.9 and S-MIG++. We used several experimental datasets obtained by sampling subsets of single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers of chromosome 22 region in the 1000 Genomes Project data and also the HapMap phase 3 data to compare the results of haplotype block partitions by five methods. With decreasing sampling ratio down to 20% of the original SNP markers, the total number of haplotype blocks decreases and the length of haplotype blocks increases for all algorithms. When we examined the marker-independence of the haplotype block locations constructed from the datasets of different density, the results using below 50% of the entire SNP markers were very different from the results using the entire SNP markers. We conclude that the haplotype block construction results should be used and interpreted carefully depending on the selection of markers and the purpose of the study.

The pod shattering or dehiscence is essential for the propagation of pod-bearing plant species in the wild, but it causes significant yield losses during harvest of domesticated crop plants. Identifying novel molecular makers, which are linked to seed-shattering genes, is needed to employ the molecular marker-assisted selection for efficiently developing shattering-resistant soybean varieties. In this study, a genetic linkage map was constructed using 115 recombinant inbred lines (RILs) developed from crosses between the pod shattering susceptible variety, Keunol, and resistant variety, Sinpaldal. A 180 K Axiom(R) SoyaSNPs data and pod shattering data from two environments in 2001 and 2015 were used to identify quantitative trait loci (QTL) for pod shattering. A major QTL was identified between two flanking single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers, AX-90320801 and AX-90306327 on chromosome 16 with 1.3 cM interval, 857 kb of physical range. In sequence, genotype distribution analysis was conducted using extreme phenotype RILs. This could narrow down the QTL down to 153 kb on the physical map and was designated as qPDH1-KS with 6 annotated gene models. All exons within qPDH1-KS were sequenced and the 6 polymorphic SNPs affecting the amino acid sequence were identified. To develop universally available molecular markers, 38 Korean soybean cultivars were investigated by the association study using the 6 identified SNPs. Only two SNPswere strongly associated with the pod shattering. These two identified SNPs will help to identify the pod shattering responsible gene and to develop pod shattering-resistant soybean plants using marker-assisted selection.

Background: Cultivated ginseng is often introduced as a substitute and adulterant of Russian wild ginseng due to its lower cost or misidentification caused by similarity in appearance with wild ginseng. The aim of this study is to develop a simple and reliable method to differentiate Russian wild ginseng from cultivated ginseng. Methods: The mitochondrial NADH dehydrogenase subunit 7 (nad7) intron 3 regions of Russian wild ginseng and Chinese cultivated ginseng were analyzed. Based on the multiple sequence alignment result, a specific primer for Russian wild ginseng was designed by introducing additional mismatch and allele-specific polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was performed for identification of wild ginseng. Real-time allele-specific PCR with endpoint analysis was used for validation of the developed Russian wild ginseng single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) marker. Results: An SNP site specific to Russian wild ginseng was exploited by multiple alignments of mitochondrial nad7 intron 3 regions of different ginseng samples. With the SNP-based specific primer, Russian wild ginseng was successfully discriminated from Chinese and Korean cultivated ginseng samples by allele-specific PCR. The reliability and specificity of the SNP marker was validated by checking 20 individuals of Russian wild ginseng samples with real-time allele-specific PCR assay. Conclusion: An effective DNA method for molecular discrimination of Russian wild ginseng from Chinese and Korean cultivated ginseng was developed. The established real-time allele-specific PCR was simple and reliable, and the present method should be a crucial complement of chemical analysis for authentication of Russian wild ginseng.

Lentinula edodes is an edible mushroom that is mainly cultivated in Asian countries. Recently, new cultivars of this mushroom have been developed in Korea; variety protection is very important, so the development of efficient molecular markers that can distinguish each variety is required. In this study, we developed cleaved amplified polymorphic sequence (CAPS) markers for the identification of L. edodes cultivars (Sanmaru 1ho and Chunjang 3ho). These markers were developed from whole genomic sequencing data from L. edodes monokaryon strain B17 and resequencing data from 10 dikaryon strains. A single nucleotide polymorphism changed in scaffold 9 POS 1630048 in Sanmaru 1ho($G{\rightarrow}T$), and in scaffold 13 POS 920681 in Chunjang 3ho ($G{\rightarrow}A$). The restriction enzymes TspR I and Xho I distinguished Sanmaru 1ho and Chunjang 3ho, respectively, from other strains. Thus, we developed 2 CAPS markers for the identification of the L. edodes cultivars Sanmaru 1ho and Chunjang 3ho.

인간(human)에게 나타나는 다양성(variation)은 인체의 유전체(genome) 안에서 발생된 SNP(Single Nucleotide Polymorphism)에 의해 나타난다고 알려져 있다. 유전체내의 SNP과 다양성에 대한 연관 연구(Associate study)를 할 때에 약 30여 억 개로 추정되는 염기서열(DNA sequence)물 모두 분석한다면 많은 비용과 시간을 필요로 할 것이다. 이런 비용과 시간을 줄이기 위친 적은 수의 대표 SNP(=tagSNP)을 찾는 연구가 현재 진행 중이다. 우리는 LD계수｜D;｜을 block 분할에 이용하여 생물학적인 의미를 부여한 후, 전산적인 최적해를 찾는 접근을 이용했다. 또한, 기존 연구에서는 large-scale data에 대한 처리가 불가능해서 chromosome의 일부분의 데이터에 대해서안 분석이 시도되었다. 더욱 광범위한 분석을 위해서 chromosome 단위의 처리가 필요하다. 우리는 chromosome단위의 SNP data를 한 번에 처리가 가능한 시스템인 MarSel를 구현하였다

Genotyping-by-sequencing (GBS) has been used as a viable single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) validation method that provides reduced representation sequencing by using restriction endonucleases. Although GBS makes it possible to perform marker discovery and genotyping simultaneously with reasonable costs and a simple molecular biology workflow, the standard TASSEL-GBS pipeline was designed for homozygous groups, and genotyping of heterozygous groups is more complicated. To addresses this problem, we developed a GBS pipeline for heterozygous groups that called KNU-GBS pipeline, specifically for apple (Malus domestica). Using KNU-GBS pipeline, we constructed a genetic linkage map consisting of 1,053 SNP markers distributed over 17 linkage groups encompassing a total of 1350.1 cM. The novel GBS pipeline for heterozygous groups will be useful for marker-assisted breeding programs, and diverse heterozygous genome analyses.

Maintaining a high level of beef consumption requires paying attention not only to quantitative traits but also to the quality and dietary properties of meat. Growing consumer demands do not leave producers many options for how animals are selected for breeding and animal keeping. Meat and carcass fatness quality traits, which are influenced by multiple genes, are economically important in beef cattle breeding programs. The recent availability of genome sequencing methods and many previously identified molecular markers offer new opportunities for animal breeding, including the use of molecular information in selection programs. Many gene polymorphisms have thus far been analyzed and evaluated as potential candidates for molecular markers of meat quality traits. Knowledge of these markers can be further applied to breeding programs through marker-assisted selection. In this literature review, we discuss the most promising and well-described candidates and their associations with selected beef production traits.

Lentinula edodes (Berk.) Pegler, the most produced mushroom in the world, is an edible mushroom with very high nutritional and pharmacological value. Currently, interest in the protection of genetic resources is increasing worldwide, and securing the distinction between new cultivars is very important. Therefore, the development of efficient molecular markers that can discriminate between L. edodes cultivars is required. In this study, we developed cleaved amplified polymorphic sequence (CAPS) markers for the identification of L. edodes cultivars (Sanbaekhyang and Sulbaekhyang). These markers were developed from whole genome sequencing data from L. edodes monokaryon strain B17 and resequencing data from 40 cultivars. A nucleotide deletion existed in scaffold 19 POS 214449 in Sanbaekhyang (GT→G), and a single nucleotide polymorphism changed in scaffold 7 POS 215801 in Sulbaekhyang (G→A). The restriction enzymes Hha I and HpyCH4IV distinguished Sanbaekhyang and Sulbaekhyang, respectively, from other cultivars. Thus, we developed two CAPS markers for the identification of the L. edodes cultivars Sanbaekhyang and Sulbaekhyang.

Balloon flower (Platycodon grandiflorum A. DC.) is a perennial plant of mainly Campanulaceae family, which have been widely used as a food ingredient and herbal medicine in East Asia. Although demands on related products and yearly cultivation area for balloon flower are increasing, diverse fundamental technologies and molecular breeding studies are not very well supported in Platycodons. In this study, 30 random amplification of polymorphic DNA (RAPD) primers were test in an attempt to explore genetic diversities. In addition, sequences information of the actin gene, a well conserved gene encoding a globular protein that forms microfilaments, was retrieved and analyzed. Two actin homologs were recovered; 3.4 kb fragment is a Pg-actin and 1.4 kb fragment is a Pg-actin homolog with 28.6% similarity. We have confirmed that the Pg-actin gene is configured into 4 exons and 3 introns. A single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP), G↔A, was detected on the intron 3, which served as a target for the CAPS marker development. The marker Pg-Actin-Int3 was applied to 32 balloon flower accessions. Balloon flower DNA sequence information generated in this study is expected to contribute to the analysis and molecular breeding and genetic diversity analysis of balloon flowers.
