Abstract: Disclosed is the biological production of lactic acid using a microorganism. A transformant capable of producing lactic acid of high optical purity at high yield, a method for the preparation thereof, and a method for producing lactic acid in a convenient and economically beneficial manner using the same are provided. The Zymomonas mobilis transformant can produce lactic acid of high optical purity at high yield without a stringent limitation to production conditions and a regulation of the intracellular metabolism pathway. Because it requires no additional separation and purification steps, the use of the transformant allows the production of lactic acid in a short process, resulting in a significant reduction in production cost, and avoiding the environment problems caused by precipitate wastes, which brings about environmental issues.

Abstract: A genetic information managing apparatus compares a base sequence of a subject with a standard base sequence to determine a longest common base sequence, and arranges the base sequence of the subject on the standard base sequence in accordance with the longest common base sequence. The genetic information managing apparatus divides the arranged base sequence into a plurality of base code groups, allocates a plurality of identifiers to the plurality of base code groups, respectively, and stores the plurality of base code groups to a plurality of storing units in association with corresponding identifiers.

Abstract: A fusion protein including N-terminal domain of a fusion partner at N-terminal and C-terminal domain of RET protein at C-terminal, a fusion gene encoding the fusion protein, and a use of the fusion protein or the fusion gene as a diagnosing marker for a cancer, are provided.

Abstract: The present invention relates to techniques to detect chromosomal columns abnormalities. More specifically, the present invention is directed to a microarray chip for detecting chromosomal abnormalities comprising one or more pooled probe sets, wherein the pooled probe set is specific to a chromosomal abnormality and all probes of each pooled probe set are immobilized together in at least one spot; a method of detecting chromosomal abnormalities using the microarray chip; a kit for diagnosing diseases associated with chromosomal abnormalities comprising the microarray chip; and a method of diagnosing a disease associated with a chromosomal abnormality by identifying the chromosomal abnormality specific to the disease using the microarray chip. The present invention relates to techniques to detect chromosomal abnormalities.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for preparing a donor cell for nuclear transfer using electro-stimulation and a membrane antigen marker, and a method for producing clone animals using the same. Particularly, the present invention provides a method for improving productivity of clone animals and knock-out animals using electro-stimulated donor cells and/or undifferentiated donor cells.
