본 연구는 RPS3 유전자의 SNP를 탐색하고 버크셔 돼지 433두에서 RPS3 유전자 SNP와 육질형질과 의 연관성을 규명하였다. SNP 탐색을 위해 버크셔 돼지의 간 조직을 사용하여 RNA-Seq을 수행한 결 과, RPS3의 염색체 451번째 G 서열이 C로 변환되어 arginine에서 serine으로 아미노산이 치환되는 non-synonymous SNP를 확인하였다. 동일한 조건에서 사육된 버크셔 돼지 433두에서 RPS3 SNP의 유전자형을 분석한 결과 major allele은 G이며 minor allele은 C로 확인되었다. RPS3의 유전자형과 육 질형질과의 연관성 분석 결과 공우성 모델에서 등지방두께(Backfat thickness), 가열감량(Cooking loss), 적색도(CIE a), 사후 45분 후 삼겹살과 등심 pH(pH45minB and pH45minL), 지방(Fat)과 단백질 (Protein) 함량 형질에서 유의성을 가졌다. 성별에 따른 RPS3 SNP 유전자형의 육질분석 결과 거세돈 은 단백질 함량에서만 유일하게 유의성이 나타난 반면 암퇘지는 등지방두께를 포함한 7가지의 육질 형 질에서 유의성을 나타나 거세돈 보다 육질 형질과의 연관성이 높은 것으로 확인되었다. 육질형질과 RPS3 SNP를 비교하였을 때, G allele을 가진 유전자형이 C allele에 비해 사후 pH45minB, 사후 pH45minL, 단백질 함량을 증가시키고, 등지방두께, 가열감량, 지방 함량을 감소시키는 것으로 확인하였 다. 따라서 G allele을 가진 돼지가 육질이 더 좋은 것으로 판단된다. 본 연구의 결과를 통해 RPS3의 SNP를 육질이 우수한 돼지고기를 생산하기 위한 분자유전 육종에서 육질 연관 biomaker로 응용 할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

This study was conducted to evaluate the risk of overweight and obesity in adolescents consuming snacks frequently from 2007~2009, Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES). The subjects (12~14 years: n=523; 15~18 years: n=614) were presented with food frequency questionnaires, and they were classified according to their gender and frequency of snack consumption. In the age group of 12~14 years, boys and girls (boys OR: 1.11, 95% CI: 0.52~2.39, girls OR: 12.45, 95% CI: 2.26~68.51) who consumed yogurt frequently had a higher risk of overweight and obesity at the highest quartile frequency compared with the lowest quartile after adjustments for multiple confounding factors, including age, physical activity, frequency of eating out and snack consumption, and energy intake. In the age group of 15~18 years, girls (OR: 1.01, 95% CI: 0.34~2.99) consuming fried foods had a higher risk of overweight and obesity at the highest quartile frequency compared with the lowest quartile after adjustments for multiple confounding factors, including age, physical activity, frequency of eating out and snack consumption, and energy intake. Thus, we conclude that frequent consumption of yogurt and fried foods increases the risk of overweight and obesity in adolescents. These findings suggest that the risk of overweight and obesity is associated with the frequency of snack consumption.

본고는 『朝鮮王朝實錄』의 자료에서 들여다 본 조선시대의 풍속에서 『詩經』이 그 시대의 풍속과 어떠한 상호 연관관계를 가지고 있는 가를 고찰해 보고자 한 글이다. 특히 조선사회 전반에 걸친 풍속 가운데에서도 “부녀자, 음주, 의복”의 세 가지 방면에 대한 『詩經』과의 연 관성을 고찰해 보고자 하였다. 조선시대 부녀자 풍속에서, 『詩經』은 조선시대 부녀자의 改嫁 와 문란한 풍속 등을 바로잡는데 뚜렷한 전범을 제시해 주었다. 특히 나이 어른 寡婦의 改嫁 허용 문제에 관해서는 『詩經』이 기준점이 되었으며, 음란한 풍속에 대해서는 풍속을 교화시 키려는 군주의 정책에 좋은 본보기를 제공해주었다. 한편 烈女와 節婦의 節行과 같은 선행 풍속에는 『詩經』이 모범사례가 되어주기도 하였음을 고찰해 볼 수 있었다. 조선시대 음주 풍 속에서, 『詩經』은 조선시대 음주와 관련된 새로운 풍속을 제정할 때 권위와 정당성을 부여해 주었다. 음주에 대해 대상과 그에 따른 합당한 의미를 부여하여 올바른 음주 풍속의 확립에 폭넓게 사용되었다. 국가의 주요한 정책 결정에 관여하는 政府大臣들의 경망한 음주 형태에 대해서 『詩經』은 하늘을 대신한 준엄한 경고를 내리는 등 조선의 음주 풍속에 유교적 이념의 근거를 마련해 주고 있음을 고찰할 수 있었다. 조선시대 의복 풍속에서, 『詩經』은 조선시대 官員의 禮服 전형에 기준점을 제시해주고, 관료들의 의복착용 문란과 상호분별 없는 사치스 러운 의복 풍속에 節約과 儉素의 상징을 보여주었다. 아울러 館學儒生들의 복식을 제정함에 있어서 그 기준점을 제시해주기도 하였음을 고찰할 수 있었다.

Thus far, there have been many studies focusing on meat quality improvement for Hanwoo (Korean cattle). It is considered that studies on meat quality have been actively conducted because beef consumption has changed from quantity to quality since early 1990's. Moreover, many studies on meat quality using maker assisted selection (MAS) have been conducted. However, there is a need to study quantity of meat in order to enhance the economic effect by genetic diversity and quantity of meat for Hanwoo. Therefore, in order to use a myostatin gene affecting meat quantity among quantitative genes for MAS, this study analyzed the association between genetic variation of myostatin gene in individuals of Hanwoo and carcass traits. Analysis between genotypes and individual phenotypic characteristics was performed by ANOVA using ASREML. Association analysis between these 10 SNPs and phenotypic characteristics (carcass weight, eye muscle area, backfat thickness, marbling score, yield index), and there were significant differences in 5 SNPs. As a result, there were five significant differences. Although all the SNPs did not show significant differences in each trait in this study, some SNPs showed significant differences in each trait. The diversity of myostatin gene was found in Hanwoo.

This study aimed to indentify single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in exon region of the glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase 1 (GPD1) gene and to evaluate their associations with meat yield and quality traits in Hanwoo (Korean cattle). Two SNP markers, g.2766C>T and g.5105A>G were identified in the exons 5 and 8, respectively. Genotyping of the two SNPs was carried out using PCR-RFLP analysis in 309 Hanwoo steers to evaluate their associations with meat yield and quality traits. As a result, g.2766C>T in exon 5 was significantly associated with carcass weight (CW) and marbling score (MS). Animals with the CC genotype of g.2766C>T had heavier CW than those with the CA or AA genotype. Animals with the CC genotype of g.2766C>T also had higher MS than those with the CA or AA genotype. Additive effect was also observed with CW and MS traits. We constructed haplotypes by linkage disequilibrium analysis and analyzed association between haplotypes and meat yield and quality traits. Haplotype of GPD1 gene was associated with CW. As a result, animals with CA haplotype had heavier CW than TG haplotype. These findings suggest that the SNPs of bovine GPD1 gene may be a useful molecular marker for selection of meat yield and quality traits in Hanwoo.

For evaluating the boar semen quality, sperm motility (MOT) is an important parameter because the movement of spermatozoa indicates active metabolism, membrane integrity and fertilizing capacity. Phospholipase C zeta (PLCz) is important enzyme in spermatogenesis, but their effect has not been confirmed in pigs yet. Therefore, this study was aimed to analyze their association with sperm motility and kinematic characteristics. DNA samples from 124 Duroc pigs with records of sperm motility and kinematic characteristics [Total motile spermatozoa (MOT), Curvilinear velocity (VCL), Straight-line velocity (VSL), the ratio between VSL and VCL (LIN), Amplitude of Lateral Head displacement (ALH)] were subjected. A SNP in non-coding region of PLCz g.158 A > C was associated with MOT (p < 0.05), VCL (p < 0.01), LIN (p < 0.01) and ALH (p < 0.05) in Duroc population. Therefore, we suggest that the intron region of the porcine PLCz gene may be used as a molecular marker for Duroc boar semen quality, although its functional effect was not defined yet. Whether the association is due to the candidate gene or not require further verification. Thus, it will be of interest to continue association studies in the regions surrounding those genes.

For evaluating the boar semen quality, sperm motility (MOT) is an important parameter because the movement of spermatozoa indicates active metabolism, membrane integrity and fertilizing capacity. Estrogen receptors 2(ESR2) is involved in estrogen related apoptosis in cell cycle spermatogenesis, but their functions have not been confirmed in pig until now. Therefore, this study was conducted to analyze their association with sperm motility and kinematic characteristics. DNA samples from 105 Duroc pigs with records of semen motility and kinematic characteristics [Total motile spermatozoa (MOT), Curvilinear velocity(VCL), Straight-line velocity(VSL), the ratio between VSL and VCL(LIN), Amplitude of Lateral Head displacement(ALH)] were analyzed. A SNP in coding region of ESR2 g.35547A > G in exon 5 was associated with MOT (p < 0.05) in Duroc population. Therefore, we suggest that the porcine ESR2 gene may be used as a molecular marker for Duroc boar semen quality, although its functional effects were not defined yet. These results might shed new light on the roles of ESR2 in spermatogenesis as candidate gene for boar fertility, but still the lack of association across populations should be considered.

Cluster-of-differentiation antigen 9 (CD9) gene expressed in the male germ line stem cells is crucial for sperm–egg fusion, and was therefore selected as candidate gene for boar semen motility and kinematic characteristics. This study was performed to investigatetheir association with semen motility and kinematic characteristics. DNA samples from 96 Duroc pigs with records of sperm motility and kinematic characteristics [Total motile spermatozoa (MOT), Curvilinear velocity(VCL), Straight-line velocity(VSL), the ratio between VSL and VCL(LIN), Amplitude of Lateral Head displacement(ALH)] were used in present study. A single nucleotide polymorphism (g.358A>T) in intron 6 was associated with MOT, VCL, VAP and ALH in Duroc population (p < 0.05). Therefore, we suggest that the porcine CD9 may be used as a molecular marker for Duroc boar semen quality, although its functional effect was not clear yet. These results will improve the understanding of the functions of the CD9 in spermatogenesis within the reproductive tracts, and will shed light on CD9 as a candidate gene in the selection of good sperm quality boars.

This study was conducted to evaluate the genetic distances and specific DNA makers by the randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD)-PCR method for the Korean native chickens(red plumage, red-line plumage, Ogol) and white leghorn. Genomic DNA was extracted from plumage from chickens after they were slaughtered. The extracted DNA was observed by nano-spectrometer. RAPD analysis was performed using 13 different primers. Statistical analysis was made for the estimation of the genetic distance among the chicken’s and the cluster tree was drawn by using MEGA 5.05 software. Genetic relations among them were determined by RAPD analysis. The polymorphic bands were observed 72% and the rest of 28% was monomorpic. The largest genetic distance (2.266) was found between the native chickens(red, red-line) and the ogol chickens by UPGMAP method and the closest distance was observed between the ogol in korean chickens as expected. The highest genetic distance between them was estimated 2.266 and in the dendrogram analysis, among I and II within cluster II, most of the ogol chickens were in IIB, indicating the expression of the ogol color could be due to original and the ancestral genetic crossing. Thus, this genetic distance can be useful as the differential genomic information in the normal(red plumage, red-line plumage) and ogol of korean native chickens. This work was supported by a grant from the “Livestock Preservation of Genetic Resources", Rural Development Administration, Republic of Korea.

This study tested the association between genotypes of the single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) marker, rs81437607 and capric acid (FA_C10_0) compositions in longissimus dorsi muscle in pigs. Eighteen fatty acid (FA) compositions were measured in a total of 974 F2 animals among 1,106 F2 progeny produced between Landrace and Jeju Black Pig (JBP). Among FA compositions tested, we identified a cluster of highly significant SNPs for capric acid compositions on 58 Mb position of Sus scrofa chromosome 12 (SSC12) using genome-wide association study (GWAS) with F2 genotypes from SNP panel analysis. GWAS results showed that the rs81437607 was the highest trait-related SNP marker with capric acid levels. Three genotypes (C/C, C/T and T/T) of rs81437607 marker were found in F2 population by further pyrosequencing. Association analysis results showed the significant differences between rs81437607 genotypes and capric acid compositions (P<0.05). The F2 pigs harboring rs81437607 C/C (0.119±0.002%) and C/T (0.116±0.002%) genotypes showed additively higher levels of capric acid content than those of T/T homozygotes (0.109±0.002%) (P=1.30×10-12). These results suggested that the genetic variations of rs81437607 may be helpful to find causative variants and assist as molecular genetic markers for improving the capric acid contents in longissimus dorsi muscle in pigs.

This study was conducted to analyze the effect of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) on the equine chromosomes (ECA) 3 for the body conformations of 12 month of age in Jeju crossbred (Jeju horses × Thoroughbred). A total of 199 Jeju crossbred horse samples were obtained from the National Institute of Subtropical Livestock Research Institute for this study. To correctly estimate the body conformations, we measured thirteen elements relevant to the body conformation such as body weight, wither height, body length for all the 199 horses at 12 month of age. Furthermore, all the horses were genotyped using four SNPs including the BIEC2-808466, BIEC2-808543, BIEC2-808967, BIEC2-809370, of which genomic coordinates range approximately from 105.1Mbp to 110 Mbp in the ECA3. For the phenotypic data sets, the average body weight was 193.7 ± 24.5㎏ and the height was 124.5 ± 4.0㎝. As for the genotypic data, the miner allele frequencies of the SNPs were shown to be varied from 0.01 to 0.291. Using the phenotypic and genotypic data sets, analysis of covariance was performed to find any association between those SNP genotypes and body conformations, using year of birth, month of birth, sex, and parity as the covariance components. The result showed that alternative genotypes in the BIEC2-808967 and BIEC2-809370 SNPs were significantly associated with the body length (P<0.05) and the wither height (P<0.05) respectively in the Jeju crossbred horses. Therefore, it is estimated that there are significant associations in the body conformation of 12 month of age of Jeju crossbred for those two SNPs used in this study.

The KLF(Kruppel-like factors) are transcriptional regulators that including the C2H2 zinc-finger motif and regulation of cell growth, cell differentiation, and development. In this study, mRNA and total DNA was extracted from the meat around the backbone of 130 cattle that has economic traits score. The KLF11 gene was act on the center of the main pathway in associated with the development and growth of cells and the fat metabolism. Genetic polymorphism was detected by DNA sequencing. A total of four SNPs(G9047A, C9104G, G9131A, C9170T) were identified in exon 4 regions, statistical association analysis revealed that the G9131A polymorphism were significantly associated with marbling score. The real time quantitative PCR to investigated gene and miRNA expression patterns and identify the relation of economic trait in Korean Native Beef Cattle. Gene expression level linked to KLF11 genes was investigated by determining its association and variation with the economic traits in Korean Native Beef Cattle. The increment of KLF11 gene expresstion level is resulted in increasing marbling score(MS). We found that expression profile of KLF gene and mir-494 was contrast tendency because the lower expression ratio of gene was the higher marbling score rating was when we analyzed expression profile ofKLF gene and mir-494. Therefore, this result has useful in improvement of livestock in Korean cattle.

Data on primal cuts were collected from 1,829 steers of Hanwoo progeny testing programs, between 2010 and 2015 for the ssGWAS. SNP data were analyzed by using Illumina Bovine 50K Beadchip. The SNP data that matches with phenotype data was 674 animals. As a first step, the genomic estimated breeding value(GEBV) of the loin and rib cuts were estimated, which was used in the estimation of SNP marker effects and their variances related to the traits. Then, the estimated variance explained by each marker was expressed as a proportion to the total genetic variance. Finally, the SNP loci and their significance to any possible QTL were examined. Among the 20 best SNP loci explaining a larger proportion of SNP variance to the total genetic variance for tender loin yield, the region between 12,812,193 ~ 12,922,313bp on BTA 10 harbored a cluster of SNPs that explained about 7.32 to 7.34% of the total genetic variance. For strip loin yield, a peak for higher effects for multiple SNPs was found in BTA24, between 38,158,543 and 38,347,278bp distances, which explained about 8.36 to 8.56% of the observed variance for this trait. For loin yield had relatively smaller effects in terms of the total genetic variance. Therefore, loin yield might be affected by a few loci with moderate effects and many other loci with smaller effects across the genome.

Copy number variation (CNV) is one of structural variation types that shows various numbers of copies in segments of the DNA. This study aimed to identify the association between copy number variation regions (CNVRs) and carcass traits in Hanwoo. We analyzed a total of 571 Hanwoo steers with the four carcass traits (marbling score (MS), backfat thickness (BF), carcass weight (CW), loineye muscle area (LMA)). PennCNV program was used to identify the CNVs and CNVRuler program was used to analyze the association between CNVRs and carcass traits. A total of 1,659 CNVRs were identified in the whole genome of Hanwoo. These 1,659 CNVRs divided into 415 Gain, 1082 Loss and 162 Gain/Loss events. A genome wide association analysis between the CNVRs and the carcass traits was performed using CNVRuler program. The number of significant CNVR at a threshold of p<1×10-4 was 2, 7, 2 and 1 loci for MS, BF, CW and LMA, respectively. We performed gene ontology (GO) analysis for the genes in the significant CNVRs using DAVID. ABCA2 and EDF1 were related to regulation of lipid metabolic process. C8G, TRAF2 and STAB2 were related to immune. CHST11 was related to developmental growth. Our results may provide an important resource for molecular breeding research in Hanwoo.
