Abstract excerpt
To confirm whether sex-linked genes of the silkworm are dosage compensated or not, we investigated three RAPDs and one RFLP marker which have been mapped to the Z chromosome as candidate genes to test for dosage compensation. Northern blot analysis demonstrated that one of the RAPDs, T15.180a, is...
