Pinwan, October 9, according to CCTV news reports, Southwest University released the latest scientific research results: the State Key Laboratory of Silkworm Genome Biology team completed the genome analysis of large-scale germplasm resources of silkworm, and drew the super pan-genome map of silkworm for the first time in the world. And took the lead in creating a “digital silkworm” gene bank.
For the study of silkworm genes, there was only a single reference genome and partial resequencing data before, which was not enough to support the deep mining of genome variation and excellent genes, especially for molecular breeding, which had significant limitations. The super pan-genome map of this breakthrough is the sum of all the genomic information of a species, which is of great significance for deepening functional genome research and germplasm innovation. It is understood that with this genome map, scientists have a complete reference book, and in the future, they will design the breeding of silkworms according to their needs.
