초위성체 표지인자는 가축에서 유전자 다양성, 개체식별 연구를 위한 유전자 마커로 활용되고 있지만 가축의 가금류에서는 이러한 연구가 미비한 실정이다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해 닭에서의 초위성체 마커에 대한 유전정보를 확보하고 보다 정확하고 신속한 유전자 분석 방법의 개발이 필요하다. 본 연구의 목적은 12개의 초위성체 표지인자(MS Marker)를 1세트로 구성된 다중중합효소연쇄반응(Multiplex PCR)을 이용하여 닭의 대립유전자와 대립유전자 빈도 및 이형접합도을 결정하는 마커를 개발하는 것이다. 닭 96수를 이용하여 12개 MS marker를 분석한 결과, MS marker에 대한 대립유전자수는 평균 3.08개로 관찰되었다. 12개 초위성체 마커의 이형접합도은 평균 0.563이고 다형정보도(Polymrphism information content : PIC)는 0.482로 계산되었다. 이 결과는 전국적으로 닭의 유전자를 이용한 개체식별 및 친자감별에 이용하기 위한 기초자료 뿐만 아니라 닭 이력제를 정착시킬 수 있는 중요한 기술로 활용 될 수 있을 것이라 사료된다.

This experiment was conducted to investigate the genetic effects of candidate genes on the growth of spleen and liver tissues using dietary Curcuma longa (C. longa) supplementation. Expression analyses of candidate genes regarding animal growth was performed in order to determine the factors affecting the growth related to immune components of Curucumin, Turmerone, and Zingiberene as the bile secretion Paratolyl methyl carbinol (PTMC). The animals were divided into four groups of five chicks supplied with experimental diets of C. longa at 0.25, 0.5 and 1% and controls. The 19 growth-related genes were known to cell maturation, differentiation significant expression patterns in this analysis. Expression of growth response-related genes in chicks supplemented with 1% of C. longa showed better growth performance than chicks with 0.25 and 0.5% in spleen (p<0.05). The IGF1, MSTN, POU1F1, ADCYAP1 gene were known to central roles in mediating gonadotropin function, regulating steroidogenesis and promoting oocyte growth and maturation. Sex steroids, androgen and estrogen can affect sex differentiation and also can affect muscle development. On the other hand, GHSR and FABP3 gene showed significant expression patterns in this analysis. The results would be used as basic information for the variation of growth-related genes expression on the cell growth, sex cell growth, and sex hormones according to dietary supplementation with C. longa in chickens.

The number of abandoned dogs is increasing with the worsening of the economy and the rising of feed value. It was becoming a serious social problem because of the disease transmission and destruction of natural ecosystems by abandoned dogs been wild animal. In order to solve these problems, companion dogs necessary to secure its own genetic information and to establish the systematic tracking system. Using multiplex-PCR method with 27 microsatellite marker (MS marker) divided 3 set, various alleles occurring to 6 dog breed (Labrador Retriever, German Shepherd, English Springer Spaniel, Belgian Malinois, Jindo Dog, PoongSan Dog) make use of markers to determine allele frequency and heterozygosity. MS marker FH2834 and FH2790 have only two allele and most were found in 13 alleles at FH3381 and FH3399. Average heterozygosity of MS marker is 0.534 and especially, heterozygosity represented the highest value of 0.765 at FH3381. So, it was recognized appropriate allele frequency for individual identification and paternity diagnosis in companion dogs. Using multiplex-PCR method with MS marker, various alleles occurring to dog breed make use of markers to deter mine individual identification and paternity diagnosis, traits associated biomarkers and breed-specific marker for faster, more accurate and ways to reduce the analysis cost. Based on this result, a scientific basis was established to the existing pedigree data by applying genetics additionally. Animal registration system is expected to be conducted nationwide in future. The method expects to very useful this system.
