Project Type: Trust

Start Date: Oct 01, 2003
End Date: Sep 30, 2008

Objective:
Demonstrate repeatability of FISH for detection of single copy genes. Use a single copy gene, period, for marking the sex chromosomes of codling moth. Use B. mori BAC library for mapping chromosomes of codling moth.

Approach:
Demonstrate resolution and repeatability of FISH using single copy gene of approximately 2,400 bp (size of transgene insertion), on codling moth material. Explore the use of period gene as a marker for sex chromosomes. Determine the value of the B. mori BAC library in creating homologous landmarks on chromosomes of codling moth.
