RNA-Seq of E.tenella Houghton life cycle stages

ABSTRACT: Recent advances in high throughput sequencing methodologies allow the opportunity to probe in depth the transcriptomes of organisms including E. tenella. In this project, we are using Illumina sequencing technology to analyze the transcriptome (RNA-Seq) of experimentally accessible stages (e.g. sporozoites, merozoites, unsporulated oocysts, sporulated oocysts) of E. tenella Houghton. The aim is to make transcriptional landscape maps of different life cycle stages of E. tenella at single base pairs resolution and utilise this information to identify the genes and define the precise gene boundaries. Gene finding has been a rather difficult task in Eimeria. Obtaining the precise transcript boundaries by Illumina RNA-Seq protocol is expected to expedite gene finding in Eimeria tenella. This
