High-quality genome assembly of the silkworm, Bombyx mori.

Insect Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 2019
In 2008, the genome assembly and gene models for the domestic silkworm, Bombyx mori, were published by a Japanese and Chinese collaboration group. However, the genome assembly contains a non-negligible number of misassembled and gap regions due to the ...

Increasing cell density globally enhances the biogenesis of Piwi-interacting RNAs in Bombyx mori germ cells. [PDF]

, 2017
Piwi proteins and their bound Piwi-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) are predominantly expressed in the germline and play crucial roles in germline development by silencing transposons and other targets.

Analysis of genes influencing the feeding of Bombyx mori by genome resequencing

Invertebrate Survival Journal, 2022
Bombyx mori belonging to the Lepidoptera family of insects, is an oligophagous insect that feeds on mulberry leaves. But why the silkworm has a soft spot for mulberry leaves is still a scientific mystery.

A determining factor for insect feeding preference in the silkworm, Bombyx mori

PLoS Biology, 2019
Feeding preference is critical for insect adaptation and survival. However, little is known regarding the determination of insect feeding preference, and the genetic basis is poorly understood. As a model lepidopteran insect with economic importance, the

Circular transcriptome sequencing of the middle silk gland and posterior silk gland in the Bombyx mori

Data in Brief, 2017
Circular transcriptome sequencing of the middle silk gland (MSG) and posterior silk gland (PSG) in the Bombyx mori are presented. The middle silk gland and posterior silk gland were collected from the third day of fifth-instar B.mori larvae. The circular
