Title:
GENOME-MODIFIED SILKWORM PRODUCING CHIMERIC SILK YARNS
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2023/190453
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
The purpose of the present invention is to produce a silkworm capable of producing chimeric silk yarns with silkworm silk yarns that approximate the physical properties of bagworm silk yarns, and to obtain the target chimeric silk yarns in the fiber state from the silkworm. Provided is a genome-modified silkworm into which a gene encoding a modified bagworm fibroin protein, said gene being obtained by fusing a gene fragment encoding a bagworm-derived fibroin protein and a gene fragment encoding a silkworm-derived fibroin protein, is inserted.
