Simple Summary Bombyx mori is a lepidopteran insect with economic value. Its genetic
background is clear, and genome sequence is relatively complete, but the function of many …

Enhancer trapping and insertional mutagenesis are powerful tools for analyzing genetic
function. To construct an enhancer trap system in the silkworm Bombyx mori, we developed …

Background Silkworm genetic engineering is widely used in gene function, silk engineering
and disease-resistant engineering in most of Asia. Some of the earliest promoter elements …

The silkworm Bombyx mori is one of the most economically important insects and serves as
a model for Lepidoptera insects. We used serial analysis of gene expression (SAGE) to …

Tetracycline-inducible gene expression (Tet-on) system has become one of the first choices
for the control of transgenes expression in mammal and drosophila. However, the Tet-on …

The silk gland of Bombyx mori represents an established in vivo system for producing
recombinant proteins. However, low yields of recombinant proteins have limited the system's …

The context sequence motif surrounding the ATG initiation codon influences mRNA
translation efficiency and affects protein production; however, the optimal sequence differs …

Transgenic techniques offer a valuable tool for determining gene functions. Although various
promoters are available for use in gene overexpression, gene knockdown, and identification …

Tetracycline‐inducible gene expression (T et‐on) system is a particularly powerful tool for
transgenic research and has become one of the first choices for the control of transgene …

We constructed a pTD1 vector for an insect cell-free translation system containing a 5′
untranslated region (UTR) of a polyhedrin gene as a translational enhancer sequence. Its …
