Abstract excerpt
Mechanisms that regulate silk protein synthesis provide the basis for silkworm variety breeding and silk gland bioreactor optimization. Here, using the pooling sequencing-based methodology, we deciphered the genetic basis for the varied silk production in different silkworm strains. We identified 8 SNPs, with 6 on chromosome 11 and 1 each on chromosomes 22 and 23, that were linked with silk production. After...
