title: The gene expression profile of Bombyx mori silkgland.
abstract: During prepupal stage, the genes expression in silkgland is considered as a model for gene expression and regulation of eukaryotes. Aiming to comprehensively interpret gene expression profile in the silkgland, we collected all currently available EST, complete cDNA and protein expression information and other gene expression testing data published before, and explored their roles in their function pathways level. With the analysis of interaction between the known proteins and putative bio-macromolecules partners in silico, we list our prediction results in the form of pathway classification and test some of their expressions by experiments.
