Identification of a putative RNAse III (dicer homolog) gene in silkworm Bombyx mori

Like other invertebrates, silkworms also encounter a problem from microbial infection including from RNA viruses. In insects, RNA interference acts as a natural anitiviral response to RNA virus infection. Especially in Drosophila, it is proved that dicer mediated RNA interference directs innate imm...
