The present invention relates to the field of
genetic engineering technology, and specifically provides
a site for the site-specific integration of exogenous genes in
Eimeria tenella and its application. The present invention relates to the screening of
a site-specific integration of exogenous genes in transgenic
Eimeria tenella,
plasmid construction and its application. The present invention discloses information on an efficient integration site for
Eimeria tenella, and after the exogenous
gene is integrated into the site, it can not only be stably inherited but also improve the
reproductive capacity of the transgenic
coccidia to a certain extent. The present invention also provides a
plasmid vector, comprising: a homologous left arm of the site-specific integration site, an exogenous
gene and a homologous right arm of the site-specific integration site. The vector is designed based on the
CRISPR / Cas9 targeting
system, and the
plasmid vector can accurately introduce the exogenous
gene into a specific site in the
coccidia genome, thereby solving the problems of random integration of exogenous genes in
coccidia transgenic technology and loss of exogenous genes in transgenic coccidia.
