Abstract:
Mapping of silkworm Bmrbp1 gene in silkworm chromosome may lay the basis to investigate function of silkworm Bmrbp1 gene and to establish silkworm physical genetic map. In this study, FISH (fluorescence in situ hybridization) was carried out on meiotic chromosome using one sex regulation gene rbp1 of Bombyx mori as a probe. The experimental results demonstrated that: this gene was a single-copy gene of autosome, located at the site with relative length of 38.806 +/- 1.080% in the 5th chromosome of silkworm meiosis.

Lampbrush Chromosomes
LBCs are made up of two pairs of conjugating homologous chromatids. Each chromatid consists of alternatively positioned regions of condensed-inactive chromatin and loosely placed-active side loops, which can be contracted and extended. The loops resemble the...
Globular and Fibrous Proteins
Globular proteins are also known as spheroproteins and typically are approximately round in shape. They contain a mix of amino acid types and contain differing sequences in their primary structures. Globular proteins have many different functions, such as enzymes, cellular messengers, and molecular transporters. These roles often require the proteins to be...
Heterochromatin
Constitutive heterochromatin: It is a highly compact region of chromatin that is mostly concentrated in the centromere and telomere. Unlike euchromatin, the amino acid at 9th...
