Description

REFqPCR200807.jpg
  • Bombyx mori is a domesticated insect that has been intimately associated with humans for over 5000 years. It has been and continues to be employed to produce silk, and has contributed greatly to the economic development of countries along the ancient Silk Road and cultural exchanges between the East and West. Since the nineteenth century, B. mori has begun to serve as a reference or model organism for studies in the life sciences and has contributed many classic paradigms associated with our understanding of genetics and molecular biology.
