The objective of this study was to assess genetic diversity among 6 different wild ginseng populations from New York, Kentucky, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Tennessee and Virginia, and to compare these wild populations to one cultivated population. RAPD markers were used to estimate the genetic difference among samples from the 7 populations. The 64 random primers were screened, and 15 primers were selected which exhibited the 124 highly reproducible polymorphic markers. The ratio of discordant bands to total bands scored was used to estimate the genetic distance within and among populations. Multidimensional scaling (MDS) of the relation matrix showed distinctive separation between wild and cultivated populations. The MDS result was confirmed using pooled chi-square tests for fragment homogeneity. This study suggests that RAPD markers can be used as population-specific markers for American ginseng.

We have investigated the genetic variation in the human apo B mRNA editing protein (apobec-1) gene. Exon 3 of the apobec-1 gene was amplified by polymerase chain reaction. After detection of an additional band by single strand conformational polymorphism (SSCP) analysis, sequencing of the SSCP-shift sample revealed a single-base mutation. The mutation was a CGG transversion at codon 80 resulting in a lleRMet substitution. This substitution was confirmed by restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis since a Pvull site is abolished by the substitution. Population and family studies confirmed that the inheritance of the genotypes for apobec-1 gene polymorphism is controlled by two codominant alleles (P1 and P2). A significant difference in plasma triglyceride was detected among the different apobec-1 genotypes in the CAD patients (P<0.05). Our study could provide the basis for elucidating the interaction between genetic variation of the apobec-1 gene and disorders related to lipid metabolism.

국내의 느릅나무(Ulmus davidiana var. japonica) 집단에 대한 유전구조와 유전다양성을 분석하였다. 느릅나무 7개 자연집단, 171개체에 대하여 7개 ISSR 표지자를 이용하여 총45개의 다형적 증폭산물을 확인하였다. 유효대립인자와 다형적 유전자좌 비율의 평균값은 1.5개와 89%이었다. Shannon의 다양성 지수(I)가 0.435, 빈도주의 방법에 의한 이형접합도 기대치($H_e$)는 0.289, 베이즈 추정에 의한 이형접합도 기대치(hs)가 0.323으로 나타났다. AMOVA 분석에서 느릅나무 집단의 유전변이 중 4.2%가 집단간 차이(${\Phi}_{ST}=0.042$)에 기인하였으며, 95.8%를 집단내 개체들이 보유하고 있었다. 베이즈 추정에 의한 집단간 유전분화율(${\theta}^{II}$)은 0.043으로 나타났다. 국내 느릅나무 집단의 유전다양성은 다른 느릅나무속 수종과 유사한 수준에 해당하였으나, 집단간 유전분화 정도는 매우 낮았다. 베이즈 근사추정에서 집단별 고정지수(평균 $PS-F_{IS}=0.822$)나 집단 특이적 유전분화율(평균 $PS-F_{ST}=0.101$)에서 유의할 만한 차이를 보이는 집단은 없었다. 군집분석과 주성분분석에서 7개의 집단들을 3개 군집으로 나눌 수 있었으나, 두 방법의 군집 양상은 일치하지 않았다. 또한 베이즈 군집분석에서 집단간 유연관계와 지리적 분포의 상관성을 확인할 수 없었다.

Purpose: The purpose of this descriptive, cross-sectional study was to examine Korean undergraduate nursing students' perceived knowledge and attitudes toward genetics. Nursing competencies for genetics among nursing students were also assessed. Methods: Two hundred eighty-six Korean junior and senior undergraduate nursing students who went through their clinical practicum completed a packet of self-report questionnaires exploring opinions about the integration of genetics into the nursing curriculum, as well as their perceived knowledge, attitudes, and nursing competencies toward genetics. Collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-test, one-way ANOVA. Results: Overall, Korean undergraduate nursing students reported limited genetic knowledge, but most of them were comfortable with drawing pedigree. In general, nursing students were competent in providing genetic nursing. Their genetic nursing competencies were significantly different depending on the level of general understanding of genetics. There was no significant difference between juniors and seniors regarding knowledge, attitudes, and competencies toward genetics. More than 60% of nursing students reported the need for genetic nursing, and the majority considered lectures to be the most effective method to learn genetic knowledge. Conclusion: It is imperative to integrate genetics into nursing curriculum in order to improve nursing students' genetic nursing competencies as well as genetic knowledge.

The higher fragment sizes (>2,100 bp) are not observed in the two C. spp. populations. The six oligonucleotides primers OPA-11, OPB-09, OPB-14, OPB-20, OPC-14, and OPC-18 were used to generate the unique shared loci to each tonguesole population and shared loci by the two tonguesole populations. The hierarchical polar dendrogram indicates two main clusters: Gunsan (GUNSAN 01-GUNSAN 11) and the Atlantic (ATLANTIC 12-ATLANTIC 22) from two geographic populations of tonguesoles. The shortest genetic distance displaying significant molecular difference was between individuals' GUNSAN no. 02-GUNSAN no. 01 (genetic distance=0.038). In the long run, individual no. 02 of the ATLANTIC tonguesole was most distantly related to GUNSAN no. 06 (genetic distance=0.958). These results demonstrate that the Gunsan tonguesole population is genetically different from the Atlantic tonguesole population. The potential of PCR analysis to identify diagnostic markers for the identification of two tonguesole populations has been demonstrated. As a rule, using various oligonucleotides primers, this PCR method has been applied to identify polymorphic/specific markers particular to species and geographical population, as well as genetic diversity/polymorphism in diverse species of organisms.

Although sea slaters Ligia have a significant role in rocky shore habitats, their taxonomic entities have not been clearly understood. In this study, we investigated whether genetic variation inferred from a nuclear genetic marker, namely amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP), would conform to that of a mitochondrial DNA marker. Using both the mitochondrial DNA marker and the AFLP marker amplified by the six selective primer sets, we analyzed 95 Ligia individuals from eight locations from East Asia. The direct sequencing of mitochondrial 16S rRNA gene revealed three distinct genetic lineages, with 9.8-11.7 Kimura 2-parameter genetic distance. However, the results of AFLP genotyping analysis with 691 loci did not support those of mitochondrial DNA, and revealed an unexpectedly high proportion of shared polymorphisms among lineages. The inconsistency between the two different genetic markers may be explained by difference in DNA evolutionary history, for example inheritance patterns, effective population size, and mutation rate. The other factor is a possible genomic island of speciation, in that most of the genomic parts are shared among lineages, and only a few genomic regions have diverged.

본 연구는 엘크 사슴의 사육방식에 따른 사료섭취량, 체중 변화 및 녹용생산성에 미치는 영향을 확인하기 위하여 실시하였다. 엘크 사슴 12두를 공시하여 사사사육과 방목사육 형태로 사육하였으며, 처리구 간에 섭취량은 유사하게 나타났다. 일당증체량과 녹용생산성의 경우 방목사육 형태가 높게 나타났는데, 일당증체량은 방목사육 시 약 39% 높은 경향을 보였는데 이는 발육 개선효과가 있을 것으로 생각된다. 녹용 생산성 역시 방목사육 시에 약 19% 높은 경향을 보였다. 그러나 녹용 생산성의 경우 개체 간 편차가 심하여 통계적 유의성은 인정되지 않았다. 본 시험에서 방목사육 시에 일당증체량과 녹용 생산성이 높게 나타난 것은 방목에 따른 조사료원의 영양적 성분이 높기 때문으로 생각된다. 이러한 결과는 사슴 방목의 효과에 대한 기초자료로서 충분이 활용될 수 있을 것이며, 앞으로 계절과 방목지의 초종에 따른 녹용의 생산성과 안정성에 대한 추가적인 연구가 수행되어야 할 것으로 생각된다.

Hemoglobin (Hb) concentrations and hematocrit (Hct) values can be changed by factors such as erythrocyte production, destruction, and bleeding. In addition, variants in the protein expression involved in the amount of red blood cells that determine Hb metabolism or Hct value can increase susceptibility to complex blood diseases. Previous studies have reported significant single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) by applying a genome-wide association study (GWAS) on Hb levels and Hct values in European population. In this study, we confirmed whether the significant SNPs are replicated in Koreans. In previous studies, 26 and 18 SNPs with a significant correlation Hb and Hct were identified in Korean genotype data, and 21 and 12 SNPs were selected, respectively. The SNPs of PRKCE (rs10495928), TMPRSS6 (rs2235321, rs5756505, rs855791) were significantly associated with Hb (P<0.05). In the association analysis of Hct, the SNPs of HBS1L (rs6920211, rs9389268, rs9483788), PRKCE (rs4953318), SCGN (rs9348689) and TMPRSS6 (rs2413450) genes showed a significant correlation (P<0.05). Replicated SNPs and not replicated SNPs showed the difference of genetic distance calculated by Fst. The replicated SNPs with a significant correlation showed similar allele frequencies, whereas the not replicated SNPs showed a large difference in allele frequency. All replicated SNPs with significant correlations had Fst values less than 0.05, indicating that the genetic distance between the groups was close. On the other hand, the not replicated SNPs showed that the Fst value was 0.05 or more and the genetic distance was relatively large.

Despite the importance of mutation rate, some difficulties exist in estimating it. Next-generation sequencing (NGS) data yields large numbers of single-nucleotide polymorphisms, which can make it feasible to estimate substitution rates. The genetic substitution rates of Hanwoo and Holstein cattle were estimated using NGS data. Our main findings was to calculate the gene's substitution rates. Through estimation of genetic substitution rates, we found: diving region of altered substitution density exists. This region may indicate a boundary between protected and unprotected genes. The protected region is mainly associated with the gene ontology terms of regulatory genes. The genes that distinguish Hanwoo from Holstein in terms of substitution rate predominantly have gene ontology terms related to blood and circulatory system. This might imply that Hanwoo and Holstein evolved with dissimilar mutation rates and processes after domestication. The difference in meat quality between Hanwoo and Holstein could originate from differential evolution of the genes related to these blood and circulatory system ontology terms.

The paper deals with the identification of Pareto optimal solutions using GA based coevolution in the context of multiobjective optimization. Coevolution is a genetic process by which several species work with different types of individuals in parallel. The concept of cooperative coevolution is adopted to compensate for each of single objective optimal solutions during genetic evolution. The present study explores the GA based coevolution, and develops prescribed and adaptive scheduling schemes to reflect design characteristics among single objective optimization. In the paper, non-dominated Pareto optimal solutions are obtained by controlling scheduling schemes and comparing each of single objective optimal solutions. The proposed strategies are subsequently applied to a three-bar planar truss design and an energy preserving flywheel design to support proposed strategies.
