reference transcriptomic data of silkworm, bombyx mori. Bombyx mori

This project is to collect reference transcriptomic data in silkworm, Bombyx mori for promotion of molecular or genetic research using silkworm or lepidopteran insect. We performed RNAseq of ten multiple organs (anterior silk gland, anterior part of the middle silk gland, middle part of the middle silk gland, posterior part of the middle silk gland, posterior silk gland, fat body, midgut, Malpighian tubules, testis and ovary) in day3 of the fifth instar larvae, a stage in which the active silk production is occurring.

本项目旨在收集家蚕（Bombyx mori）的参考转录组数据，以推动针对家蚕或鳞翅目昆虫的分子与遗传研究。我们对五龄幼虫第3天的10种器官开展了RNA测序，所涉器官包括前部丝腺、中部丝腺前部、中部丝腺中部、中部丝腺后部、后部丝腺、脂肪体、中肠、马氏管、精巢与卵巢。该阶段为家蚕活跃产丝的时期。
