Analysis of mucosal and abomasal lymphnode transcriptome for the identification of genes involved in nematode resistance gastrointestinal tract in adult sheep.

In this project the RNA-seq technology was exploited to analyze the transcriptome of target tissues affected by the Teladorsagia circumcincta infection in two groups (6 resistsant and 6 susceptible) of adult ewes showing different statuses against gastrointestinal nematode (GIN) infection with the aim of identifying genes and variants linked to GIN infection resistance in sheep.
