Bashir, N.H., Wang, W.-W., Ling, X.-F., Zhang, J.-W., Lu, Q., He, R., & Chen, H. 2022 Characterization of potential molecular markers in lac insect Kerria lacca (Kerr) responsible for lac production. Insects 13: 545

  • economic importance
  • genome
  • molecular biology

    • Notes: The present study involves the use of K. lacca for genome-wide identification of DNA variants through an Illumina NovaSeq. Potential variants (SNPs and InDels) were studied to develop and enlist lac synthesis genes to predict and observe its effect using genomic location. The linked variants will be further used to facilitate genotype studies and for marker-assisted selection for lac synthesis. https://doi.org/10.3390/insects13060545
