qPCR validation of candidate genes in domestic and wild silkworms. (a) Comparison of cocoon of the domestic strain Dazao (D_DZ), Xiafang (D_XF) and wild silkworm. (b) Whole cocoon weight of the wild silkworm and domestic strains used for qPCR analysis. (c,d) qPCR validation of the interesting candidate genes in the silk gland on day 2 of the wild and domestic silkworms. The design of the specific primers and the qPCR strategy were similar to our previous study38. The primer sequences are listed in Supplementary Table S7. One-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to determine significant differences between any two samples. *P < 0.05; **P < 0.01; n.s.: not significant.
