Abstract excerpt

p-oily (op) is a novel mutant of Bombyx mori exhibiting translucent larval integument and male infertility. Elucidation of the causative gene of the op mutant will help understand the genetic mechanism underlying larval integument coloration and male fertility. Using polymorphisms between B. mori and B. mandarina, the op locus was narrowed down to a 375-kb region. Using RNA-seq analysis, we found that op mutants...
