Development of a two-layer machine learning model for the forensic application of legal and illegal poppy classification based on sequence data.

Poppies are beneficial plants with a variety of applications, including medicinal, edible, ornamental, and industrial purposes. Some Papaver species are forensically significant plants because they contain opium, a narcotic substance. Internationally trafficked species of illegal poppies are being identified by DNA barcoding employing multiple markers in response to their forensic value.

A case study on DNA barcoding for pet food mislabeling in South Korea.

Due to the close relationship between pets and humans, pet owners are highly invested in proper diets for their pets. Even though pet food mislabeling is concerning, there are few studies on this topic. This study investigated pet food mislabeling in South Korea's market based on DNA barcoding.

Comparative Transcriptome Analysis of from Wild Habitats in Han River, Korea.

is an euryhaline crab found from East Asia to Europe and North America. This species can live in freshwater and seawater due to the unique physiological characteristics of their life cycle, which allows them to adapt and inhabit different habitats in a wide range of environments. Despite the wealth of studies focusing on adaptation mechanism of to specific environmental factors, the adaptation mechanisms to wild habitats with coexisting environmental factors are not well understood.

Machine Learning Models for Identification and Prediction of Toxic Organic Compounds Using Transcriptomic Profiles.

A wide range of environmental factors heavily impact aquatic ecosystems, in turn, affecting human health. Toxic organic compounds resulting from anthropogenic activity are a source of pollution in aquatic ecosystems. To evaluate these contaminants, current approaches mainly rely on acute and chronic toxicity tests, but cannot provide explicit insights into the causes of toxicity.

Development of the new microsatellite markers of Lucilia sericata (Diptera: Calliphoridae) from Korea.

Background: Lucilia sericata is a medical and veterinary important insect species because its larvae feed on tissues of vertebrates including humans. Very few microsatellite makers have been reported from the species to illuminate its genetic variability and population genetic structure.

Methods And Results: In this study, L.

Development of polymorphic microsatellite markers for the Trichoglossus haematodus and cross-species amplification in Trichoglossus moluccanus.

Backgroud: Trichoglossus haematodus is the most popular parrots globally and one of the most bred species in Korea's zoos. However, despite its popularity, there are limited studies on the population genetics of this species.

Methods And Results: In this study, 10 polymorphic microsatellite markers were developed for T.

The complete mitochondrial genome of Stimpson, 1857 (Decapoda: Epialtidae).

The family Epialtidae is the most diversified family within superfamily Majoidea but there is no report for complete mitogenome of any species in this family. This study was performed to sequence a complete mitogenome of Stimpson, 1857, as the first mitochondrial genome report from the Epialtidae. The complete mitogenome sequence of was 16,415 bp and it consisted of 36 genes, including 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), two rRNA genes, and 21 tRNA genes excluding tRNA-Leu (UAG).

Comparative analyses of the three complete mitochondrial genomes from forensic important beetle genus Dermestes with phylogenetic relationships.

Necrophagous Dermestes species have high forensic importance in relation to the estimation of elapsed time since death or death season. To further supplement the genome-level features for related species, the complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of Dermestes species D. essellatocollis, D.
