Wild (<i>Bombyx mandarina)</i> and domestic silkworms (<i>B. mori</i>) are good models for investigating insect domestication, as 5000 years of artificial breeding and selection have resulted in significant differences between <i>B. mandarina</i> and <i>B. mori</i>. In this study, we improved the genome assemblies to the chromosome level and updated the protein-coding gene annotations for <i>B. mandarina</i>. Based on this updated genome, we identified 68 cytochrome P450 genes in <i>B. mandarina ...[more]
