Abstract excerpt
The ov (mottled translucent of Var) mutant, an oily mutant of Bombyx mori, exhibits mottled translucent skin with a varying degree of transparency among individuals. By linkage analysis of 2112 backcross individuals using polymorphic DNA markers, we successfully mapped a 179-kb region of chromosome 20 responsible for the ov phenotype. This region contains nine predicted genes. We compared the mRNA expression of...
