Silkworm Genetic Research Will Turn To Application Service &Nbsp; Silk Is Used As Artificial Skin.

In 2003 and 2008, the silkworm genome research team of Southwestern University completed the first world family silkworm genome map and silkworm genome map, and laid the leading position in the genome research of Bombyx mori.

In August this year, the project group completed 40 re sequencing of the silkworm genome, and took the lead in achieving the ultimate goal of gene science research in the field of world biology.

"To pform traditional silk industry with modern technology is our ultimate goal of serving the economy and society."

Xiang Zhonghuai, a member of the Chinese silkworm genome project and a member of the Chinese Academy of engineering, said that using silk to make artificial skin will be a direction of silkworm gene research and application.

According to the introduction, through pgenic means, silk is made into artificial skin, which has stronger affinity with human tissue, and can effectively reduce its heterosexual character, and give skin more beautiful to patients who need re skin grafting.

"Silkworm research in Chongqing can help us solve the problem of crop pests."

Goldsmith, International Liaison Officer of the international Lepidoptera genome project, said that 80% of the insect pests of crops belong to Lepidoptera like silkworms. A breakthrough in research on physiology, pathology, development and genetic death of silkworms will help us find natural enemies of pests.

"Silkworm's silk gland is a highly efficient protein factory, so the silkworm can not only spin silk, but also spit out protein."

He said that this will also have great prospects in Applied Research of bioengineering.
