Silk_40K SNP array facilitates the genomic prediction of complex traits in silkworm (Bombyx mori)
Silk_40K array is the first whole-genome SNP chip for silkworm. Based on this, two new genes controlling silk yield were identified, providing new insights into the genetic architecture of silk yield. We also demonstrated for the first time that genomic selection may achieve high efficiency in selecting for complex traits in silkworms.
