The present application belongs to the technical field of biological
genetic engineering, and specifically discloses a method for excavating a
gene associated with the body color trait of a
tussock moth
larva, constructing a
tussock moth body color trait analysis
population, and counting the body color trait
phenotype value of the
tussock moth body color trait analysis
population; based on the Super-GBS technology,
SNP markers are developed and typed at the whole
genome level for tussock moth materials of the tussock moth body color trait analysis
population, and a
genetic linkage map is drawn; the body color trait is positioned by QTL using the
genetic linkage map, the corresponding linkage group physical position of the body color trait is obtained, and the body color trait GWAS analysis is simultaneously carried out; according to the
gene information obtained from the two methods, the associated regions are compared with a
database and annotated, and candidate genes of the body color trait of the tussock moth
larva are excavated. The present application obtains relevant
gene information by the two methods of QTL and GWAS, compares the information with a
database and annotates the information, and excavates candidate genes of the body color trait of the tussock moth, so that the candidate genes of the body color trait of the tussock moth at the whole
genome level are effectively and accurately realized.
