The study aims to analyze the transcriptome of transgenic silkworm A4ST to understand its response to viral infections.
Transgenic silkworm A4ST was created by overexpressing BmST.
A4ST and control group DZ were infected with BmNPV and BmCPV, respectively.
Midgut samples were extracted at various time points for analysis.
Differences in transcriptome profiles between A4ST and DZ were observed.
Specific genes related to viral resistance were identified in the transgenic silkworm.
Abstract
Transgenic silkworm A4ST was constructed by overexpression of BmST. A4ST and DZ control were infected with BmNPV and BmCPV, respectively, then midgut was extracted at different time points for transcriptome analysis.
