The paper provides time-course transcriptome data of silk glands in Bombyx mori larvae from day 0 to 7, supporting molecular biology and genetic research.

The paper identifies LQGH1, a glycosidase in Bombyx mori that mediates quercetin uptake by deglycosylating quercetin glycosides, and shows its conservation and role in silk production.

The paper presents a high-quality genome assembly of the silkworm strain Nichi01, improving upon previous assemblies and providing resources for further research and breeding.

The paper constructs a reference transcriptome for the silkworm Bombyx mori using RNA-seq data from ten tissues, identifying unique transcripts and improving gene models.
