국내 서식하는 복숭아순나방 (Grapholita molesta (Busck))과 복숭아심식나방 (Carposina sasakii (Matsumura))의 유충은 사과 과실내부를 섭식하여 피해를 주는 해충이다. 사과를 수출할 때 복숭아심식나방은 수출대상국들로부터 검역 대상해충이다. 반면에 복숭아순나방은 광범위한 분포로 비교적 수입국으로부터 검역 대상 해충은 아니지만, 사과 과실 내부에서 발견되는 경우 복숭아심식나방으로 오인될 수 있다. 이는 발견되는 유충을 가지고 형태적으로 두 종을 구분하기 어렵기 때문이다. 특별히 수입국 검역단계에서 이러한 불완전한 동정 실태는 수출 사과의 폐기 또는 반송과 수출중단 등과 같은 막대한 경제적 손실을 초래하게 된다. 이에 이들을 구분할 수 있는 분자지표 개발이 요구되었다. 두 종의 미토콘드리아 DNA를 대상으로 다형을 보이는 여러 영역의 염기서열을 분석하였다. 이 서열을 바탕으로 진단용 제한위치가 결정되고 종 특이적 프라이머가 제작되었다. 본 연구는 세 부위의 종 특이적 제한효소 위치에 따라 PCR-RFLP 기술과 종 특이적 프라이머를 이용하여 진단용 PCR 기술을 개발하였다.

The molecular epidemiological characteristics of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) isolates have demonstrated their genetic diversity and evolution. A total of 137 strains of MRSA clinical isolates was collected from Korean healthcare facility in 2007. The MRSA clinical isolates were analyzed by molecular typings (SCCmec element and agr locus typing), virule nce factor gene detections {(Panton-Valentine leukocidin (PVL), enterotoxin, exfoliative toxin and toxic shock syndrome toxin-1), and amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP)}. The MRSA clinical isolates were classified as SCCmec type II-agr type 1 (2 strains), type II-agr type 2 (79 strains), type III-agr type 1 (24 strains), type III-agr type 2 (2 strains), type IV-agr type 1 (27 strains), type IV-agr type 2 (2 strains), and non-typable (1 strain, agr type 3). Based on SCCmec types, SCCmec type II (95.1%) and III (88.5%) indicated higher multidrug resistance rate than SCCmec type IV (10.3%) (P<0.001). The most common enterotoxin genes were seg (83.8%), sei (83.1%), and sec (80.2%). The tst gene was present in 86 out of 137 (62.8%) MRSA isolates. All MRSA isolates were negative for PVL and exfoliative toxin genes. The combinations of toxin genes were observed in particular SCCmec types; 97.6% of SCCmec type II strains carried sec, seg, sei and tst genes, 73.0% of SCCmec type III strains carried sea gene, and 89.7% of SCCmec type IV strains carried sec, seg and sei genes. Each of the SCCmec types of MRSA isolates had distinct AFLP profile. In conclusion, SCCmec type II, agr type 1 and 2 have demonstrated to be the most common types in Korea, and the results indicated that the virulence factors are closely associated with their molecular types (SCCmec and agr types).

Pacific abalone Haliotis discus discus is an important fisheries resource in Jeju, Korea. For basic information about its current genetic status in relation to stock enhancement, the level and distribution of genetic variation between wild and released stocks of Pacific abalone in Jeju were examined at nine cross-species microsatellite markers including the use of two novel primers. High levels of polymorphism were observed between the two populations. A total of 146 different alleles were found at all loci, with some alleles being unique. The allelic variability ranged from five to 27 in the wild population and from four to 16 in the released sample. The average observed and expected heterozygosities were estimated to be 0.74 and 0.84 in the wild sample and 0.70 and 0.78 in the released sample, respectively. Although a considerable loss of rare alleles was observed in the released sample, no statistically significant reductions were found in heterozygosity or allelic diversity in the released sample compared to the wild population. Low but significant genetic differentiation was found between the wild and released populations. These results suggest that the intensive breeding practices for stock enhancement may have resulted in a further decrease in genetic diversity, and that the cross-species microsatellite markers used in this study represent a potentially efficient means for further genetic studies, providing beneficial information for the protection and management of H. discus discus.

Background: The microsatellites within human leukocyte antigen (HLA) region show considerable polymorphism and strong linkage disequilibrium (LD) with HLA alleles. These microsatellites have been used for genetic analysis including disease mapping to understand susceptibility to autoimmune and infectious diseases. Also, use of microsatellites has recently been proposed as an approach for identifying non-HLA markers within the HLA region that could function as transplantation determinants and for the selection of potential donors for transplantation. Methods: To analyse the frequency of five microsatellites in the Korean population, genotyping for polymorphisms at five microsatellites markers (BAT2, MIB, DQCAR, D6S105 and TNFd) within HLA region was performed on 143 healthy Korean controls. Results: The most frequent genotype shown in healthy Korean controls were BAT2 8 (153 bp, 42.7%), MIB 1 (326 bp, 40.6%), DQCAR 3 (188 bp, 38.5%), D6S105 7 (126 bp, 58.0%) and TNFd 3 (128 bp, 58.0%). And common two-loci haplotypes were found as MIB 1-HLA-B*62 (HF: 10.6%), MIB 6-HLA-B*44 (HF: 7.8%), DQCAR 3-HLA-DRB1*13 (HF: 8.5%), TNFd 5-HLA-B*62 (HF: 7.8%) and D6S105 7-HLA-A*02 (HF: 16.2%). Conclusion: These data might provide useful information on the microsatellites markers with HLA region in Korean population and be helpful in further defining the clinical impact of these microsatellites.

이 연구는 cytochrome b 유전자 서열을 이용하여 쏘가리속 어류의 분자계통 진화적 관계와 쏘가리 지역 개체군 간의 유전적 차이를 조사함으로써 한극산 쏘가리의 분자진화적인 위치와 유래를 알기 위하여 실시하였다. 그 결과, 쏘가리속 어류의 진화초기에 S. roulei가 가장 먼저 분화하였으며 그 후 조사대상 어류인 쏘가리속 6개 종 (S. schezeri, S. undu-lata, S. fortis, S. obscura, S. knerii 및 S. chuatsi) 이 분화한 것으로 생각된다. 그러나 이들 어류들의 분화 우선순위는 통계학적으로 강하게 지지되지 못해서 명확하게 밝히기는 어려웠다. 한편 쏘가리 개체군은 크게 세 개의 집단으로 구분되었다. 첫 번째 집단은 한국산 개체군과 중국북부 (Liaoning, Henan) 개체군이다. 두 번째 집단은 Anhui, Fujian 및 Guangxi 개체군이며, 세 번째 집단은 Zhejiang 개체군이다. 첫 번째 집단 내 한국산 쏘가리 개체군과 중국 북부(Liaoning, Henan)개체군 사이의 염기서열 차이는 1~5 base pairs (bp)였으며 첫 번째 집단과 두 번째 집단의 염기서열 차이는 31~43 bp였다. 그리고 두 번째 집단과 세 번째 집단 사이의 염기서열 차이는 37~44 bp를 나타냈으며, 첫 번째 집단과 세 번째 집단 사이의 염기서열 차이는 27~29 bp였다. 따라서 한국산 쏘가리의 유래는 중국의 북부 개체군이 신생대 3기 Pliocene 기간 중에, 즉 초기 빙하기 이전 시기에 중국 중부 또는 남부의 쏘가리 개체군으로부터 최초로 분화된 후 빙하기를 거치면서 한반도로 그 분포범위를 확장함으로써 생겨난 것으로 추정된다.

Objectives : The region of chromosome 5p14 is known to be associated with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The cadherin9 (CDH9) and cadherin10 (CDH10) genes are located in the region of chromosome 5p14 and reported to be associated with ASD in the Caucasian population. We performed an association study to identify if single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) located on the CDH9 and CDH10 genes are associated in the Korean population. Methods : Genomic DNA was extracted from the blood of 214 patients with ASD and 258 controls. SNPs selected from two genes were genotyped using an Illumina Golden-Gate Genotyping assay with VeraCode technology. Statistical analysis was performed using SAS and Plink software. Results : All controls and ASD patients were in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. In the results of logistic regression analyses for the genotype model and the chi-square test for the allele model, we found that SNPs on the CDH9 and CDH10 genes were not associated with ASD. Conclusion : Our data suggests that the CDH9 and CDH10 genes are not associated with ASD in the Korean population.

There is no investigation has yet been conducted for ACOX1 and CSRP3 gene polymorphisms in Korean cattle (Hanwoo), and their associations with carcass and meat quality traits. In this study, SNPs in ACOX1 and CSRP3 genes were identified and their associations with carcass and meat quality traits were investigated in 227 Hanwoo animals. Two SNPs (g.224G> A and g.19491G>A) in ACOX1 gene and one SNP (g.14859C>T) in CSRP3 gene were identified in Hanwoo and sequence analysis indicated that these SNPs were located in the coding regions. The allele frequencies of ACOX1 g.224G>A and g.19491G>A SNPs were 0.57, 0.43, and 0.56 and 0.44, respectively, For CSRP3 g.14859C>T polymorphism, the C and T allele frequencies were 0.64 and 0.36, respectively. The Hanwoo cattle were used to detect PCR-RFLP patterns for estimating the allele frequencies. Single marker association analyses were performed between genotype of each SNP, and carcass and meat quality association traits to evaluate the relationships in Hanwoo. The g.224G>A SNP genotypes of ACOX1 gene, which was significantly associated with meat quantity grade at slaughter (P<0.03) and backfat thickness tended to be greater (P=0.06) in Hanwoo. The previously identified g.14859C>T SNP was used in this study and the obtained genotype and allele frequencies are almost similar with the previous results reported by Bhuiyan et al. (2007). However, no significant association was found between g.19491G>A SNP in the ACOX1 and g.14859C>T SNP genotypes of CSRP3 gene and considered carcass and meat quality traits. In conclusion, the information on the identified SNPs in CSRP3 and ACOX1 genes could be useful for further association study and haplotype analysis for the development of carcass and meat quality traits in Hanwoo.

Grapes (Vitis spp. L.) are the third most produced fruit in the world. Crown gall disease caused by Agrobacterium vitis forms galls in the stems of the grapevines and reduces the vitality of the fruit trees, resulting in reduced yields. This pathogen has occurred in vineyards worldwide and caused serious economic losses. It is a soil-borne disease, so Agrobacterium vitis can survive for several years in vineyards and is difficult to control. Additionally, since there is no effective chemical control method, the most effective control method is the breeding of resistant varieties. To make the resistant variety, marker-assisted selection (MAS) enables fast breeding with low cost. In this study, we applied a genome-wide association study (GWAS), by combining phenotyping and genotyping-by-sequencing (GBS), for the development of a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) marker set related to crown gall disease using 350 grapevine varieties. As a result of the GBS based genotyping analysis, about 58,635 SNPs were obtained. In addition, the phenotypic analysis showed 35.2% resistance, 73% moderate susceptibility and 16.4% highly susceptibility. Moreover, after confirmation, two genes (VvARF4 and VvATL6-like) were shown to be related to crown gall disease based on the results of GWAS analysis, using the phenotypic data, and GBS. High-resolution melting analysis (HRMA) was performed using the Luna^® Universal Probe with real-time PCR to distinguish the melting peaks of the resistant and susceptible varieties. Our data show that these SNP markers are expected to be helpful in evaluating resistance against grapevine crown gall disease and in breeding.
