Abstract excerpt
In this study, we found two embryonic lethal mutations, t04 lethal (l-t04) and m04 lethal (l-m04), in semiconsomic strains T04 and M04, respectively. In these semiconsomic strains, the entire diploid genome, except for one chromosome 4 of the wild silkworm Bombyx mandarina, is substituted with chromosomes of the domesticated silkworm B. mori, and l-t04 and l-m04 mutations are located on B. mandarina-derived...
