Bombyx mori genome

The Bombyx mori genome refers to the complete set of genetic instructions in the silkworm, an organism crucial for silk production. It contains about 25,000 genes that govern traits like silk fiber formation, development, and reproduction. Studying this genome helps scientists understand how silkworms grow and produce silk, and can also inform improvements in silk quality and pest management. The genome sequencing provides a detailed blueprint of the silkworm's biology, aiding biological research, breeding, and biotechnological applications related to silk and insect science.
