The genus Neoarius, known as marine catfish, is a group of the family Ariidae, composed of 10 species found in Oceania. None of the species in this genus have their mitochondrial genome described, which is highly valuable in phylogenetic and molecular evolution studies. For the present work, eight species from the Neoarius genus were selected: Neoarius utarus, Neoarius midgleyi, Neoarius graeffei, Neoarius leptaspis, Neoarius berenyi, Neoarius paucus, Neoarius pectoralis, and Neoarius aff. graeffei. DNA sequences of the eight species were obtained through the NCBI Sequence Read Archive (SRA) database, and the mitochondrial genomes were assembled using the NOVOplasty tool on the Galaxy platform, subsequently annotated with the MitoAnnotator tool. We then utilized the protein-coding genes from the mitogenomes to estimate the phylogenetic relationships within the group, including seven additional mitogenomes available in the NCBI. In all species, the mitochondrial genomes presented 13 protein-coding genes, 2 rRNA genes, 22 tRNA genes, and 1 D-loop.

Objective: The objective of this study was to investigate the phylogenetic and expression analysis of the angiopoietin-like (ANGPTL) gene family and their role in lipid metabolism in pigs. Methods: In this study, the amino acid sequence analysis, phylogenetic analysis, and chromosome adjacent gene analysis were performed to identify the ANGPTL gene family in pigs. According to the body weight data from 60 Jinhua pigs, different tissues of 6 pigs with average body weight were used to determine the expression profile of ANGPTL1-8. The ileum, subcutaneous fat, and liver of 8 pigs with distinct fatness were selected to analyze the gene expression of ANGPTL3, ANGPTL4, and ANGPTL8. Results: The sequence length of ANGPTLs in pigs was between 1,186 and 1,991 bp, and the pig ANGPTL family members shared common features with human homologous genes, including the high similarity of the amino acid sequence and chromosome flanking genes. Amino acid sequence analysis showed that ANGPTL1-7 had a highly conserved domain except for ANGPTL8. Phylogenetic analysis showed that each ANGPTL homologous gene shared a common origin. Quantitative reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction analysis showed that ANGPTL family members had different expression patterns in different tissues. ANGPTL3 and ANGPTL8 were mainly expressed in the liver, while ANGPTL4 was expressed in many other tissues, such as the intestine and subcutaneous fat. The expression levels of ANGPTL3 in the liver and ANGPTL4 in the liver, intestine and subcutaneous fat of Jinhua pigs with low propensity for adipogenesis were significantly higher than those of high propensity for adipogenesis. Conclusion: These results increase our knowledge about the biological role of the ANGPTL family in this important economic species, it will also help to better understand the role of ANGPTL3, ANGPTL4, and ANGPTL8 in lipid metabolism of pigs, and provide innovative ideas for developing strategies to improve meat quality of pigs.

최근 기계학습의 발달로 인공지능을 구현하는 머신러닝과 딥러닝 같은 기술이 많은 관심을 받고 있다. 본 논문에서는 딥러닝 기반의 R-CNN을 이용한 바이너리 악성코드를 이미지화 하고 이미지에서 특징을 추출해 패밀리를 분류한다. 본 논문에서는 딥러닝에서 두 단계를 이용해 악성코드를 CNN을 이용해 이미지화하고, 악성코드의 패밀리가 갖는 특징을 R-CNN을 이용해 분류함으로 악성코드를 이미지화하여 특징을 분류하고 패밀리를 분류한 후 악성코드의 진화를 자동 분류한다. 제안 기법은 검출율이 93.4%로 우수한 탐지 성능을 보였고 정확도는 98.6%로 매우 높은 성능을 보였다. 또한 악성코드를 이미지화 하는 CNN 처리속도가 23.3ms, 하나의 샘플을 분류하기 위해서 R-CNN처리 속도는 4ms로 비교적 빠르게 악성코드를 판별하고 분류가 가능함을 실험을 통해 증명하였다.

참새목(Passeriformes) 조류인 까마귀과 조류 4속 4종과 물까마귀과의 물까마귀를 대상으로 전기영동실험방법을 이용하여 유전적 근연관계와 종간의 분화ㅏ연대를 분석한 결과, 까마귀과 4속과 두 개의 과는 다른 조류 분류군과 유사한 정도의 유전적 근연치를 나타내었으나, 조류를 제외한 다른 분류군보다는 근연치가 낮았다. 유전적 근연관계를 분석한 결과 어치(Garrulus glandarius brandtii)와 까마귀(Corvus corone orientalis)는 S=0.81로 가장 가까웠으며, 다음으로 까치(Pica pica sericea)가 S=0.72로 나타났다. 한편 물까치(Cyanopica cyanus koreensis)는 S=0.68로 까마귀과 조류 중 가장 근연치가 멀게 나타났다. 유전적 차이치로 5종간의 종 분화연대를 추산한 결과 물까마귀과 조류는 까마귀와 약 390만년 전에 분화된 것으로 나타났고 까마귀과 조류 4종의 겨웅 물까치는 약 190만년 전에, 까치는 약 160만년 전에 각각 분화되었고, 약 100만년 전에 어치와 까마귀가 분화된 것으로 추정된다.

연구 목적은 부정교합과 부분무치증 등의 치과 문제의 배경으로서 사람 진화에 따른 치열의 변화 양상을 고찰하는 것이었다. 사람은 분류학적으로 동물계, 척추문, 포유강, 영장목, 고등영장아목, Hominoid(상위인과), Hominid(인과), Homo(인속), sapiens(종)이다. 최초의 Hominid는 약 400만년 전에 출현한 Australopithecus로서 직립보행과 치열의 변화가 특징이었고, Homo속은 약 250만년 전에 출현한 최초의 석기 제작자 H. habilis를 시작으로, H. erectus, H. neanderthalensis 등이 나타났다가 사라지면서 현생 인류인 H. sapiens에 이르렀다. 원시포유류의 I3 C1 P4 M3의 치열은 원시영장류의 I2 C1 P4 M3, 고등영장류의 I2 C1 P3 M3, Hominoid의 I2 C1 P2 M3로 변화하였고 H. sapiens는 I2 C1 P2 M2의 치열로 변화하고 있다. Hominoid의 상자형 치열은 Australopithecus의 오메가형 치열을 거쳐 Homo의 포물선형 치열로 변화하였다. 치아의 크기가 계속 감소하였고 특히 견치의 크기와 성적 이형성이 감소하였다. 뇌 크기가 증가하고 악골의 크기가 감소함에 따라 치열은 두개관에 대해 후하방으로 이동하였다. 녹말이 풍부한 주식으로의 변화, 식품 가공, 요리 기술의 발달이 저작의 필요성을 감소시켜 치열 변화를 촉진하였다는 가설이 제기되었다. 지구 역사에서 극히 최근에 나타난 신종으로서 지구 전역에 퍼져 대량 멸종을 일으키고 있는 H. sapiens의 미래는 불투명하다. 부분무치증과 부정교합은 사람 진화에 따른 치열 변화와 관계가 있는 것으로 보이며 앞으로 증가할 가능성이 있다고 사료된다.

To elucidate the putative role of the amido group in the metal binding of the fuculose-1-phosphate aldolase from Methanococcus jannaschii, we have examined a potential targen using site-directed mutagenesis. The replacement of asparagine 25 with leucine or threonine was shown to have a negative effect, not only on catlytic efficiency, but also on substrage recognition as well. The Hill coefficient values yeilded a value of =1. All metals used with the wild-type aldolases exhibited higher activity than that of the mutants. The spectra of the mutants were quite different from the wild-type aldolase. A highly conserved amino acid of asparagine 25 in a related family of aldolase odes not appear to provide sufficient evidence for evolution.

The Strombus Linn$\acute{e}$, 1758 is a genus of marine mollusks belonging to the class Gastropoda, and is distributed in the tropical waters of the world. Typically, the family Strombidae includes five extant genera (Strombus, Lambis, Terebellum, Tibia, and Rimella), all of which are mostly found in tropical waters. Five individuals of Strombus luhuanus Linn$\acute{e}$, 1758 were collected from Uljin, Gyeongsangbuk-do province for the first time. In this study, we describe details of shell morphology and radula characters of the species with scanning electron microscopy images of the radula. This is a new record of Strombus luhuanus Linn$\acute{e}$, 1758 from Korean waters.

Two sponges, Stelletta subtilis (Sollas, 1886) and Stryphnus sollasi n. sp., were collected from depth of 24-30 m at Jeju-do Island and Chuja-do Island by SCUBA diving from July 2003 to June 2010. The new species Stryphnus sollasi n. sp is similar with Stryphnus niger Sollas, 1886 in the composition of spicules, however they differ in colour and spicule size. This new species has smaller oxeas and larger oxyasters than those of S. niger. This new species has two size categories of oxyaster but S. niger has one size category of oxyaster. The colour of S. sollasi n. sp is white, but the latter puce black. Stelletta subtilis (Sollas, 1886) is first recorded in Korean fauna.

Sea urchins were collected from waters adjacent to Daludo Island and Mohang harbor in the Yellow Sea, and were identified into Glyptocidaris crenularis A. Agassiz, 1864, of the family Stomopneustidae within the order Stomopneustoida, based on morphological characteristics. This species has two unique morphological characteristics: the ambulacral plate is composed of three primary plates and two demi-plates, and a valve of globiferous pedicellaria consists of with a well-developed long terminal hook and a unique stalk equipped with one to six long lateral processes covering membranes, resembling fins. It is newly recorded in Korea and is described with photographs. This brings the total number of sea urchins reported from the Yellow Sea, Korea, to seven.
