Abstract

The objective of this project is to derive a genetic linkage map of the genome of E. tenella using the inheritance of polymorphic DNA markers in recombinant cloned progeny derived from a cross between parents that had selectable phenotypes of precocious development or resistance to an anticoccidial drug. Linkage groups will be defined and markers assigned. Linkage groups for particular traits (e.g. precocious development or drug-resistance) will be mapped to chromosomes. Loci that contribute to the particular traits will be identified and informative DNA markers will be cloned and sequenced as a first step towards the fuller characterisation of those loci.
