DNA isolation for PCR-based short tandem repeat (STR) analysis is essential to recover high yields of amplifiable DNA from low copy number (LCN) DNA samples. There are different methods developed for DNA extraction from the small bloodstain and gloves, commonly found at crime scenes. In order to obtain STR profiles from LCN DNA samples, DNA extraction protocols, namely the automated $iPrep^{TM}$ $ChargeSwitch^{(R)}$ method, the automated $QIAcube^{TM}$ method, the automated $Maxwell^{(R)}$ 16 DNA $IQ^{TM}$ Resin method, and the manual $QIAamp^{(R)}$ DNA Micro Kit method, were evaluated. Extracted DNA was quantified by the $Quantifiler^{TM}$ Human DNA Quantification Kit and DNA profiled by $AmpFISTR^{(R)}$ $Identifiler^{(R)}$ Kit. Results were compared based on the amount of DNA obtained and the completeness of the STR profiles produced. The automated $iPrep^{TM}$ $ChargeSwitch^{(R)}$ and $QIAcube^{TM}$ methoas produced reproducible DNA of sufficient quantity and quality trom the dried blood spot. This two automated methods showed a quantity and quality comparable to those of the forensic manual standard protocols normally used in our laboratory. In our hands, the automated DNA extraction method is another obvious choice when the forensic case sample available is bloodstain. The findings of this study indicate that the manual simple modified $QIAamp^{(R)}$ DNA Micro Kit method is best method to recover high yields of amplifiable DNA from the numerous potential sources of LCN DNA samples.

The loci of the 5S and 45S rRNA genes were localized on chromosomes in five species of Capsicum, namely, annuum, chacoense, frutescens, baccatum, and chinense by FISH. The 5S rDNA was localized to the distal region of one chromosome in all species observed. The number of 45S rDNA loci varied among species; one in annuum, two in chacoense and frutescens, and chinense, and four in baccatum, with the exceptions that 'CM334' of annuum had three loci and 'tabasco' of frutescens gad one locus. 'CM334'-derived BAC clones, 384B09 and 365P05, were screened with 5S rDNA as a probe, and BACs 278M03 and 262A23 were screened with 25S rDNA as a probe. Both ends of these BAC clones were sequenced. FISH with these BAC probes on pachytenes from 'CM334' plant showed one 5S rDNA locus and three 45S rDNA loci, consistent with the patterns on the somatic chromosomes. The 5S rDNA probe was also applied on extended DNA fibers to reveal that its coverage measured as long as 0.439 Mb in the pepper genome. FISH techniques applied on somatic and meiotic chromosomes and fibers have been established for chili to provide valuable information about the copy number variation of 45S rDNA and the actual physical size of the 5S rDNA in chili.

HeLa $S_3$ 細胞를 재료로 DNA 回復合成에 미치는 Methyl methanesulfonate(MMS)와 thymidine 相似體(BUdR, IUdR)의 이중효과를 농도와 시간변화에 따라 $^3 H$-thymidine 처리에 의한 自記放射法으로 조사한 결과는 다음과 같다. 1. MMS를 단독 처리한 경우 標識細胞의 빈도는 MMS의 농도 증가에 따라 증가한다. 이는 DNA 回復合成을 한 細胞의 빈도가 증가한 결과로 細胞當 Grain 數의 증가현상과 일치한다. 시간변화에 따른 DNA 回復合成은 MMS와 $^3 H$-thymidine 처리후 2$\\sim$3시간에 최대증가율을 보인다. 2. BUdR 또는 IUdR의 단독처리후 DNA 回復合成을 일으키지 않는다. 그러나 MMS와 이중 처리할 경우 標識細胞, DNA 回復合成細胞, 그리고 細胞當 Grain 數는 MMS 단독 처리한 경우보다 훨씬 증가한다. 따라서 이 두 물질은 MMS에 의한 DNA 回復合成을 효과적으로 증가시키는 感受性物質로 작용함이 판명되었다.

약용식물로 재배되고 있는 지모를 대상으로 McFISH 기법을 이용하여 45S와 5S rDNA 유전자의 염색체상의 위치를 확인하여 물리지도를 확립하였다. 2쌍의 45S rDNA는 1번 염색체의 단완 말단과 3번 염색체의 동원체 부위에서 관찰되었고, 1번 염색체의 signal이 3번 염색체에서의 signal보다 더 강하게 나타났다. 한 쌍의 5S rDNA signal은 45S rDNA signal과 함께 3번 염색체의 동원체 부위에서 관찰되었다.

The R3V6 peptide includes a hydrophilic arginine stretch and a hydrophobic valine stretch. In previous studies, the R3V6 peptide was evaluated as a gene carrier and was found to have low cytotoxicity. However, the transfection efficiency of R3V6 was lower than that of poly-L-lysine (PLL) in N2A neuroblastoma cells. In this study, the transfection efficiency of R3V6 was improved in combination with high mobility group box 1A domain (HMGA). HMGA is originated from the nuclear protein and has many positively-charged amino acids. Therefore, HMGA binds to DNA via charge interaction. In addition, HMGA has a nuclear localization signal peptide and may increase the delivery efficiency of DNA into the nucleus. The ternary complex with HMGA, R3V6, and DNA was prepared and evaluated as a gene carrier. First, the HMGA/DNA complex was prepared with a negative surface charge. Then, R3V6 was added to the complex to coat the negative charges of the HMGA/DNA complex, forming the ternary complex of HMGA, R3V6, and DNA. A physical characterization study showed that the ternary complex was more stable than the PLL/DNA complex. The HMGA/R3V6/DNA complex had a higher transfection efficiency than the PLL/DNA, HMGA/DNA, or R3V6/DNA complexes in N2A cells. Furthermore, the HMGA/R3V6/DNA complex was not toxic to cells. Therefore, the HMGA/R3V6/DNA complex may be a useful gene delivery carrier.

HeLa $S_3$세포에서 MMC에 의해 유발된 DNA회복합성은 농도$(0.05\\sim 0.5\\mu g/ml)$에 따른 증가를 보이지 않고 그 율도 비\ulcorner적 낮아 $0.1\\sim 0.5\\mu g/ml$ 농도에서 조사한 전 세포의 $7\\sim 9%$를 나타내고 있다. 시간 변화에 따른 실험에서는 MMC를 제거한 후 24시간까지 거의 비슷한 율로 DNA회복합성이 계속되고 있다. thymidine 상사체중 BUdR을 전처리한 군에서만이 MMC에 의한 DNA회복합성을 증가시켰다. 그러나 BUdR 또는 IUdR과 MMC를 복합처리 할 경우 시간경과에 따라 정상 DNA합성은 감소된다. 이들 결과는 MMC에 의해 유발된 DNA손상은 빠르고 느린 두단계로 회복됨을 암시하는 것이라 생각된다.

형태학적 제3군 가시아메바의 taxonomic validity는 아직 확실하지 않다. 이번 연구에서 제3군에 속하는 6종의 가시 아메바 즉 A. culbertsoni A. healyi A. palestinensis. A. pustulosa, A. royreba 및 A. lenticulata의 type strain들의 동위효소. 미토콘트리아 DNA 및 small subunit(ssu) rDNA의 Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism(RFLP) 양상을 비교하여 이들의 taxonomic validity를 검토하였다. 미토콘드리아 DNA의 RFLP 양상은 분리주간에 서로 심한 차이를 보였다. A. palestinensis와 A. pustulosc는 거의 동일한 rDNA RFLP(추정 염기 치환율 2.6%) 및 동위효소의 양상을 보여 A. palestinensis와 A. pustulosc는 같은 종으로 판단되었다. 그외의 종들은 서로 아주 다양한 rDNA RFLP 및 동위효소의 양상을 나타내어 독립종으로 인정되었다.

To clarify some confusions concerning identification of the Korean Peridinium species, genotypic analysis was performed with their SSU rDNA sequences. PCR was used to amplify the partial SSU rDNA of Peridinium isolates collected from three different Korean waters (Juam, Sang-sa and Togyo Reservoirs). The PCR products were allowed directly to sequence, which revealed each 942 bp of rDNA sequence. Analyses of the rDNA sequences showed that all the Korean isolates had the same genotype (100% sequence homology), and they were nearly identical to a Japanese strain of P. bipes f. occultatum (NIES 364; 99.8% sequence similarity). The sequence-based comparisons could clearly resolve P. bipes f. occultatum isolated from three different Korean waters.

Two culture-independent methods, namely ribosomal DNA libraries and denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE), were adopted to examine the microbial community of a Malaysian light crude oil. In this study, both 16S and 18S rDNAs were PCR-amplified from bulk DNA of crude oil samples, cloned, and sequenced. Analyses of restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) and phylogenetics clustered the 16S and 18S rDNA sequences into seven and six groups, respectively. The ribosomal DNA sequences obtained showed sequence similarity between 90 to 100% to those available in the GenBank database. The closest relatives documented for the 16S rDNAs include member species of Thermoincola and Rhodopseudomonas, whereas the closest fungal relatives include Acremonium, Ceriporiopsis, Xeromyces, Lecythophora, and Candida. Others were affiliated to uncultured bacteria and uncultured ascomycete. The 16S rDNA library demonstrated predomination by a single uncultured bacterial type by >80% relative abundance. The predomination was confirmed by DGGE analysis.
