광식성 난방제 해충인 미국흰불나방(Hyphantria cunea)의 친환경 방제를 위한 바이러스 살충제의 소재 활용을 위해서 국내에서 분리된 미국흰불나방 핵다각체병바이러스(H. cunea nucleopolyhedrovirus W1: HycuNPV-W1)의 다각체 형태 및 전장 유전체 서열을 결정하고 분석하였다. HycuNPV-W1의 다각체는 1.5-2.2 um 크기의 사면체에 가까운 부정형으로 확인되었다. 전장 유전체의 염기서열을 결정한 결과, 기존에 보고된 HycuNPV와 비교할 때 1,606 bp 더 짧은 131,353 bp로 확인되었다. 그러나 G+C 함량은 45%였으며 상동반복영역은 6개로 기존에 보고된 HycuNPV와 차이는 확인할 수 없었다. ORF 분석에서는 HycuNPV-W1은 기존의 HycuNPV와 비교할 때 3개의 ORF가 더 적은 145개를 가졌으나, HycuNPV-W1에만 존재하는 2개의 ORF가 확인되었다. 이들 ORF의 기능은 현재까지 밝혀지지 않았으나 바이러스의 생물학적 특성에 큰 영향을 주지 않을 것으로 추정되었다. 유전체의 vista 분석 결과에서는 HycuNPV-W1과 기존 HycuNPV의 전체 염기서열 유사도가 매우 높은 것으로 확인되었다. 국내에서 처음으로 분석한 HycuNPV-W1의 전장 유전체는 기존의 HycuNPV와 매우 유사한 것으로 나타났으나, 독자적인 특성을 가진 서로 다른 분리주로 국내 고유자원임을 확인할 수 있었다.

Objective: The objective of this study was to investigate the genetic diversity, population structure and whole-genome selection signatures of Luxi cattle to reveal its genomic characteristics in terms of meat and carcass traits, skeletal muscle development, body size, and other traits. Methods: To further analyze the genomic characteristics of Luxi cattle, this study sequenced the whole-genome of 16 individuals from the core conservation farm in Shandong region, and collected 174 published genomes of cattle for conjoint analysis. Furthermore, three different statistics (pi, F_st, and XP-EHH) were used to detect potential positive selection signatures related to selection in Luxi cattle. Moreover, gene ontology and Kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes pathway enrichment analyses were performed to reveal the potential biological function of candidate genes harbored in selected regions. Results: The results showed that Luxi cattle had high genomic diversity and low inbreeding levels. Using three complementary methods (pi, F_st, and XP-EHH) to detect the signatures of selection in the Luxi cattle genome, there were 2,941, 2,221 and 1,304 potentially selected genes identified, respectively. Furthermore, there were 45 genes annotated in common overlapping genomic regions covered 0.723 Mb, including PLAG1 zinc finger (PLAG1), dedicator of cytokinesis 3 (DOCK3), ephrin A2 (EFNA2), DAZ associated protein 1 (DAZAP1), Ral GTPase activating protein catalytic subunit alpha 1 (RALGAPA1), mediator complex subunit 13 (MED13), and decaprenyl diphosphate synthase subunit 2 (PDSS2), most of which were enriched in pathways related to muscle growth and differentiation and immunity. Conclusion: In this study, we provided a series of genes associated with important economic traits were found in positive selection regions, and a scientific basis for the scientific conservation and genetic improvement of Luxi cattle.

A temperate phage was isolated from emetic Bacillus cereus NCTC 11143 by mitomycin C and characterized by transmission electron microscopy and DNA and protein analyses. Whole genome sequencing of Bacillus phage 11143 was performed by GS-FLX. The phage has a dsDNA genome of 39,077 bp and a 35% G+C content. Bioinformatic analysis of the phage genome revealed 49 putative ORFs involved in replication, morphogenesis, DNA packaging, lysogeny, and host lysis. Bacillus phage 11143 could be classified as a member of the Siphoviridae family by morphology and genome structure. Genomic comparisons at the DNA and protein levels revealed homologous genetic modules with patterns and morphogenesis proteins similar to those of other Bacillus phages. Thus, Bacillus phages might have a mosaic genetic relationship.

Recently, strategies for controlling Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici (Fol), the causal agent of Fusarium wilt of tomato, focus on using effective biocontrol agents. In this study, an analysis of the biocontrol and plant growth promoting (PGP) attributes of 11 isolates of loamy soil Bacillus spp. has been conducted. Among them, the isolates B.PNR1 and B.PNR2 inhibited the mycelial growth of Fol by inducing abnormal fungal cell wall structures and cell wall collapse. Moreover, broad-spectrum activity against four other plant pathogenic fungi, F. oxysporum f. sp. cubense race 1 (Foc), Sclerotium rolfsii, Colletotrichum musae, and C. gloeosporioides were noted for these isolates. These two Bacillus isolates produced indole acetic acid, phosphate solubilization enzymes, and amylolytic and cellulolytic enzymes. In the pot experiment, the culture filtrate from B.PNR1 showed greater inhibition of the fungal pathogens and significantly promoted the growth of tomato plants more than those of the other treatments. Isolate B.PNR1, the best biocontrol and PGP, was identified as Bacillus stercoris by its 16S rRNA gene sequence and whole genome sequencing analysis (WGS). The WGS, through genome mining, confirmed that the B.PNR1 genome contained genes/gene cluster of a nonribosomal peptide synthetase/polyketide synthase, such as fengycin, surfactin, bacillaene, subtilosin A, bacilysin, and bacillibactin, which are involved in antagonistic and PGP activities. Therefore, our finding demonstrates the effectiveness of B. stercoris strain B.PNR1 as an antagonist and for plant growth promotion, highlighting the use of this microorganism as a biocontrol agent against the Fusarium wilt pathogen and PGP abilities in tomatoes.

The genome sequencing project has generated and will contitute to generate enormous amounts of sequence data. Since the first complete genome sequence of bacterium Haemophilus in fluenzae was published in 1995, the complete genome sequences of 2 eukaryotic and about 22 prokaryotic organisms have detemined. Given this everincreasing amounts of sequence information, new strategies are necessary to efficiently pursue the phase of the geome project- the elucidation of gene expression patterns and gene product function on a whole genome scale. In order to assign functional information to the genome sequence, DNA chip technology was developed to efficienfly identify the differential expression pattern of indepondent biogical samples. DNA chip provides a new tool for genome expreesion analysis that may revolutionize revolutionize many aspects of human kife including mew surg discovery and human disease diagnostics.

Cynodon transvaalensis belongs to the warm-season grasses and is one of the economically and ecologically important crops. Cynodon species with high heterozygosity are difficult to assemble, so genome research has not been actively conducted. In this study, hybrid assembly was performed by sequencing with Illumina and PacBio. As a result of the assembly, the number of scaffolds and the length of N50 were 1,392, 928 kb, respectively. The completeness of the assembly was confirmed by BSUCO at 98.3%. In addition, as a result of estimating the size of the assembled genome by K-mer analysis (k=25), it was approximately ~413 Mb. A total of 37,060 cds sequences were annotated in the assembled genome, and their functions were identified through blast. After that, we try to complete the assembled genome into a pseudochromosome-level genome through Hi-C technology. These results will not only help to understand the complex genome composition of african bermudagrass, but also provide a resource for genomic and evolutionary studies of grass and other plant species.

Advancements in next generation sequencing (NGS) technologies have significantly increased the translational use of genomics data in the medical field as well as the demand for computational infrastructure capable processing that data. To enhance the current understanding of software and hardware used to compute large scale human genomic datasets (NGS), the performance and accuracy of optimized versions of GATK algorithms, including Parabricks and Sentieon, were compared to the results of the original application (GATK V4.1.0, Intel x86 CPUs). Parabricks was able to process a 50× whole-genome sequencing library in under 3 h and Sentieon finished in under 8 h, whereas GATK v4.1.0 needed nearly 24 h. These results were achieved while maintaining greater than 99% accuracy and precision compared to stock GATK. Sentieon's somatic pipeline achieved similar results greater than 99%. Additionally, the IBM POWER9 CPU performed well on bioinformatic workloads when tested with 10 different tools for alignment/mapping.

The red-crowned crane (Grus japonensis) is an endangered, large-bodied crane native to East Asia. It is a traditional symbol of longevity and its long lifespan has been confirmed both in captivity and in the wild. Lifespan in birds is known to be positively correlated with body size and negatively correlated with metabolic rate, though the genetic mechanisms for the red-crowned crane's long lifespan have not previously been investigated. Using whole genome sequencing and comparative evolutionary analyses against the grey-crowned crane and other avian genomes, including the long-lived common ostrich, we identified redcrowned crane candidate genes with known associations with longevity. Among these are positively selected genes in metabolism and immunity pathways (NDUFA5, NDUFA8, NUDT12, SOD3, CTH, RPA1, PHAX, HNMT, HS2ST1, PPCDC, PSTK CD8B, GP9, IL-9R, and PTPRC). Our analyses provide genetic evidence for low metabolic rate and longevity, accompanied by possible convergent adaptation signatures among distantly related large and long-lived birds. Finally, we identified low genetic diversity in the red-crowned crane, consistent with its listing as an endangered species, and this genome should provide a useful genetic resource for future conservation studies of this rare and iconic species.
