유전체 지문 분석법은 세균 균주간의 친연성을 판정하는데 유용하다. 그러나 친연성이 낮은 두 균주의 지문 사이에서 우연히 발생하는 DNA 단편 크기의 일치성은 유전형질의 일치성의 해석에 오차를 유발한다. 본 연구는 임의의 두 유전체 지문에서 우연히 DNA 단편의 크기가 일치할 확률을 정량하여, 유전체 지문에 근거한 친연성 해석의 유의성을 고찰하였다. 유전형질 일치성 없이 단편 크기가 일치할 확률은 관찰되는 단편의 수, 관찰 가능한 전체 단편의 수와 크기가 일치하는 단편의 수로부터 계산될 수 있는 함수로 분석되었다. 유의성에 가장 큰 영향을 미치는 독립 매개변수는 전체 단편의 수였으며, 우연한 공통 단편의 수를 10개 미만으로 유지하기 위해서는 약 200개 이상의 단편이 지문에서 관찰될 수 있어야 하는 것으로 계산되었다.

Objective: The study was designed to perform a genome-wide association (GWA) and partitioning of genome using Illumina's PorcineSNP60 Beadchip in order to identify variants and determine the explained heritability for the total number of teats in Yorkshire pig. Methods: After screening with the following criteria: minor allele frequency, $MAF{\leq}0.01$; Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, $HWE{\leq}0.000001$, a pair-wise genomic relationship matrix was produced using 42,953 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). A genome-wide mixed linear model-based association analysis (MLMA) was conducted. And for estimating the explained heritability with genome- or chromosome-wide SNPs the genetic relatedness estimation through maximum likelihood approach was used in our study. Results: The MLMA analysis and false discovery rate p-values identified three significant SNPs on two different chromosomes (rs81476910 and rs81405825 on SSC8; rs81332615 on SSC13) for total number of teats. Besides, we estimated that 30% of variance could be explained by all of the common SNPs on the autosomal chromosomes for the trait. The maximum amount of heritability obtained by partitioning the genome were $0.22{\pm}0.05$, $0.16{\pm}0.05$, $0.10{\pm}0.03$ and $0.08{\pm}0.03$ on SSC7, SSC13, SSC1, and SSC8, respectively. Of them, SSC7 explained the amount of estimated heritability along with a SNP (rs80805264) identified by genome-wide association studies at the empirical p value significance level of 2.35E-05 in our study. Interestingly, rs80805264 was found in a nearby quantitative trait loci (QTL) on SSC7 for the teat number trait as identified in a recent study. Moreover, all other significant SNPs were found within and/or close to some QTLs related to ovary weight, total number of born alive and age at puberty in pigs. Conclusion: The SNPs we identified unquestionably represent some of the important QTL regions as well as genes of interest in the genome for various physiological functions responsible for reproduction in pigs.

Genome-scale expression data provides us with valuable insights about organisms, but the biological validation of in-silico analysis is difficult and often controversial. Here we present a new approach for integrating previously established knowledge with computational analysis. Based on the known biological evidences, IGAM (Integrated Gene Association Matrix) automatically estimates the relatedness between a pair of genes. We combined this association knowledge to the regulatory network modeling and fuzzy clustering in yeast 5. Cerevisiae. The result was found to be more effective for extracting biological meanings from in-silico inferences for gene expression data.

Objective: The objective of the present study was to validate genes and genomic regions associated with carcass weight using a low-density single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) Chip in Hanwoo cattle breed. Methods: Commercial Hanwoo steers (n = 220) were genotyped with 20K GeneSeek genomic profiler BeadChip. After applying the quality control of criteria of a call rate ${\geq}90%$ and minor allele frequency (MAF) ${\geq}0.01$, a total of 15,235 autosomal SNPs were left for genome-wide association (GWA) analysis. The GWA tests were performed using single-locus mixed linear model. Age at slaughter was fitted as fixed effect and sire included as a covariate. The level of genome-wide significance was set at $3.28{\times}10^{-6}$ (0.05/15,235), corresponding to Bonferroni correction for 15,235 multiple independent tests. Results: By employing EMMAX approach which is based on a mixed linear model and accounts for population stratification and relatedness, we identified 17 and 16 loci significantly (p<0.001) associated with carcass weight for the additive and dominant models, respectively. The second most significant (p = 0.000049) SNP (ARS-BFGL-NGS-28234) on bovine chromosome 4 (BTA4) at 21 Mb had an allele substitution effect of 43.45 kg. Some of the identified regions on BTA2, 6, 14, 22, and 24 were previously reported to be associated with quantitative trait loci for carcass weight in several beef cattle breeds. Conclusion: This is the first genome-wide association study using SNP chips on commercial Hanwoo steers, and some of the loci newly identified in this study may help to better DNA markers that determine increased beef production in commercial Hanwoo cattle. Further studies using a larger sample size will allow confirmation of the candidates identified in this study.

The determination of relatedness between individuals in a family is crucial in analysis of common complex diseases. We present a method to infer close inter-familial relationships based on SNP genotyping data and provide the relationship coefficient of kinship in Korean families. We obtained blood samples from 43 Korean individuals in two families. SNP data was obtained using the Affymetrix Genome-wide Human SNP array 6.0 and the Illumina Human 1M-Duo chip. To measure the kinship coefficient with the SNP genotyping data, we considered all possible pairs of individuals in each family. The genetic distance between two individuals in a pair was determined using the allele sharing distance method. The results show that genetic distance is proportional to the kinship coefficient and that a close degree of kinship can be confirmed with SNP genotyping data. This study represents the first attempt to identify the genetic distance between very closely related individuals.

Increasing inputs of dissolved organic matter (DOM) to northern lakes is resulting in 'lake browning.' Lake browning profoundly affects phytoplankton community composition by modifying two important environmental drivers-light and nutrients. The impact of increased DOM on native isolates of red and green-pigmented cyanobacteria identified as Pseudanabaena, which emerged from a Dolichospermum bloom (Dickson Lake, Algonquin Provincial Park, Ontario, Canada) in 2015, were examined under controlled laboratory conditions. The genomes were sequenced to identify phylogenetic relatedness and physiological similarities, and the physical and chemical effects of increased DOM on cellular performance and competitiveness were assessed. Our study findings were that the isolated red and green phenotypes are two distinct species belonging to the genus Pseudanabaena; that both isolates remained physiologically unaffected when grown independently under defined DOM regimes; and that neither red nor green phenotype achieved a competitive advantage when grown together under defined DOM regimes. While photosynthetic pigment diversity among phytoplankton offers niche-differentiation opportunities, the results of this study illustrate the coexistence of two distinct photosynthetic pigment phenotypes under increasing DOM conditions.

본 연구에서는 주요 새우 생산 국가에서 2017년 7월부터 2020년 11월 사이 생산되어 국내로 수입된 냉동 새우(29개 그룹)를 대상으로 흰반점바이러스(WSSV), covert mortality nodavirus (CMNV) 및 decapod iridescent virus 1 (DIV-1)의 검출여부를 조사하였다. 각 바이러스에 대한 nested PCR 결과, WSSV는 9개 그룹(9/29)에서 검출되었으며 CMNV와 DIV-1은 검출되지 않았다. Nested PCR에서 WSSV 양성으로 확인된 시료를 대상으로 WSSV genome variable loci로 알려진 VR 14/15 region에 대해 참조 서열들과 삽입/결손(insertion and deletion) 서열 비교 및 근연관계를 분석하였다. WSSV 양성 시료 중 1개 시료(20-CH-1 isolate, 2020년 10월 중국 생산)에서만 VR 14/15에 대한 PCR amplicon이 생성되었으며 염기서열 분석 결과, 20-CH-1 isolate는 2005년 인도에서 보고된 WSSV-IN-05-01과 99.84%의 상동성을 보였다. 이는 과거 알려진 바와 같이 새우의 교역을 통한 국가 간 WSSV가 확산되었음을 뒷받침해주는 결과이다.

Objective: The main objectives of the present study were to assess the genetic diversity, population structure and to appraise the efficiency of ongoing selective breeding program in the closed nucleus herd of Nellore sheep through pedigree analysis. Methods: Information utilized in the study was collected from the pedigree records of Livestock Research Station, Palamaner during the period from 1989 to 2016. Genealogical parameters like generation interval, pedigree completeness, inbreeding level, average relatedness among the animals and genetic conservation index were estimated based on gene origin probabilities. Lambs born during 2012 and 2016 were considered as reference population. Two animal models either with the use of F_i or ΔF_i as linear co-variables were evaluated to know the effects of inbreeding on the growth traits of Nellore sheep. Results: Average generation interval and realized effective population size for the reference cohort were estimated as 3.38±0.10 and 91.56±1.58, respectively and the average inbreeding coefficient for reference population was 3.32%. Similarly, the effective number of founders, ancestors and founder genome equivalent of the reference population were observed as 47, 37, and 22.48, respectively. Fifty per cent of the genetic variability was explained by 14 influential ancestors in the reference cohort. The ratio f_e/f_a obtained in the study was 1.21, which is an indicator of bottlenecks in the population. The number of equivalent generations obtained in the study was 4.23 and this estimate suggested the fair depth of the pedigree. Conclusion: Study suggested that the population had decent levels of genetic diversity and a non-significant influence of inbreeding coefficient on growth traits of Nellore lambs. However, small portion of genetic diversity was lost due to a disproportionate contribution of founders and bottlenecks. Hence, breeding strategies which improve the genetic gain, widens the selection process and with optimum levels of inbreeding are recommended for the herd.

본 시험은 국내외에서 수집한 꽃송이버섯균 22균주에 대하여 분자생물학적 유연관계를 분석하고자 하였다. 수집균주의 ribosomal DNA의 ITS 영역에 대한 cleaved amplified polymorphic sequence (CAPS) 분석 결과, KACC50866은 다른 균주들과 20%이하의 유연관계를 나타내었으며 나머지 균주들은 90% 이상의 유연관계를 보이면서 4그룹으로 구분되었다. 따라서 이들의 세분화된 분자생물학적 구분을 위하여 rDNA ITS 영역의 염기서열분석을 하여 구분하여 본 결과 KACC50866 균주는 다른 꽃송이버섯균과 유연관계가 매우 낮은 것으로 나타났다. 그리고 나머지 21개 균주는 같은 그룹으로 구분되어 있어 같은 종으로 생각할 수 있으나, 이들을 좀더 세분하기 위해서는 미토콘드리아의 유전자 서열 분석 등이 병행되어야 할 것으로 판단된다.

To determine phylogenetic relatedness of four silk-producing silkmoths (B. mori, B. mandarina, A. yamamai and A. pernyi), internal coding region of arylphorin which is a storage protein in hemolymph protein of insects were amplified by polymerase chain reaction and then sequenced and compared each other. The nucleotide composition was biased toward adenine and thymine(59% A+T) and a strong bias for use of C in the third position of codons was found for Phe and Tyr. Together TTC(Phe) and TAC(Tyr) account for about 16.8% (10 for TTC and 8 for TAC) of all codon usage. The nucleotide similarity of arylphorin gene from B. mori showed 99%, 98% and 97% homology with those of B. mandarina, A. yamamai and A. pernyi, respectively. Also, the nucleotide sequence of arylphorin gene from B. mandarina showed 98% and 97% homology with those of A. yamamai and A.pernyi, respectively. Between A. yamamai and A. pernyi, the sequence homology was 97%. The deduced amino acid sequences in B. mori, B. mandarina and A. yamamai showed almost 99% homology. Although the aryphorin gene provided insufficient variability among the four insect species, A UPGMA tree is generated that supported the monophyly of silk-producing insects, with M. sexta placed basal to it. It is suggest that silk-producing insects have a close relationship and a homogeneous genetic background from comparison with those of other insects.
