High-resolution silkworm pan-genome provides genetic insights into artificial selection and ecological adaptation

High-resolution silkworm pan-genome provides genetic insights into artificial selection and ecological adaptation

Tong et al. describe a super pangenome assembled from long-read sequences of 545 wild and domesticated silkworms. Naturally selected (diapause, aposemantic coloration) or artificially selected (silk yield and fineness) sets of genes are delineated.
