RNA sequencing reveals a complete but an unconventional type of dosage compensation in the domestic silkworm Bombyx mori

RNA sequencing reveals a complete but an unconventional type of dosage compensation in the domestic silkworm Bombyx mori

Sex chromosomal dose difference between sexes is often normalized by a gene regulatory mechanism called dosage compensation (DC). Studies indicate that DC mechanisms are generally effective in XY rather than ZW systems. However, DC studies in lepidopterans (ZW system) gave bewildering results. In Ma...
