(A) Isolation of recombinant progeny for genetic mapping and virulence linkage analysis. Clonal isolates of the type I strain GT-1 resistant to 5-fluoro-2-deoxyuridine (FUDRR) and type III strain CTG resistant to adenine arabinoside and sinefungin (AraAR/SNFR) were crossed, and recombinant progeny clones were selected with drug selections (AraAR/FUDRR or SNFR/FUDRR combination). Alternatively, progeny clones were chosen at random and genotyped to obtain recombinant ones. (B) An example of genotyping using PCR/RFLP analysis for the SAG3 gene amplified from the parental strains (indicated as I, III) and the progeny (indicated as 1–9). PCR products were digested with restriction enzyme NciI and resolved in 3% agarose gel in the presence of ethidium bromide. DNA marker = φ174 DNA digested with HaeIII.
