Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: It is highly attractive to use silkworms producing natural fibres with excellent properties and insect-based nutrients on a large scale. Traits related to these often have complex genetic bases. Genomic selection (GS) has exhibited high efficiency in improving complex traits. However, for silkworm, there is a lack of low-cost, high-throughput genotyping tools, and the effectiveness of GS has yet to...
