The genome-wide transcriptional regulatory landscape of ecdysone in the silkworm

Epigenetics & Chromatin, 2018
Background The silkworm, Bombyx mori, a typical representative of metamorphic insects, is of great agricultural and economic importance. The steroid hormone ecdysone (20-hydroxyecdysone, 20E) is the central regulator of insect developmental transitions ...
