TL;DR: A second generation consensus silkworm genetic map with a range of 7-40 markers per linkage group and a total map length of approximately 3431.9 cM was constructed and its high efficiency for genotyping and potential application for synteny studies of Lepidoptera and other insects was demonstrated.
Disruption of an N-acetyltransferase gene in the silkworm reveals a novel role in pigmentation.
TL;DR: The mln mutation is the first characterized mutant phenotype of insects with AANAT, and this result contributes to the understanding of dopamine metabolism and melanin pattern polymorphisms.
RNA interference-mediated silencing of the bursicon gene induces defects in wing expansion of silkworm
Jianhua Huang,Yong Zhang,Minghui Li,Sibao Wang,Wenbin Liu,Pierre Couble,Guoping Zhao,Yongping Huang +7 more
TL;DR: In conclusion, bursicon plays a key role in the stereotyped behavioral program involved in wing expansion in the silkworm, Bombyx mori.

Comparison of gut‐associated and nest‐associated microbial communities of a fungus‐growing termite ( Odontotermes yunnanensis )
TL;DR: To further investigate the symbiotic relationships of fungus‐growing termites, the microbial communities of the termite gut and fungus combs of Odontotermes yunnanensis were examined and bacterial clone libraries showed higher numbers and greater diversity of bacteria in thetermite gut than in the fungus comb.

Disruption of an N-acetyltransferase gene in the silkworm reveals a novel role in pigmentation
TL;DR: In this article, the authors reported the genetic and molecular bases for the formation of the melanism (mln) mutant of the silkworm Bombyx mori, which is notable for its strong black coloration, phenotypic differences between larval and adult stages and its widespread use in strain selection.
