Characterization of Spectrin Family Genes and Their Evolutionary Roles in Domestication and Breeding of the Silkworm <i>Bombyx mori</i>

The spectrin family genes play critical roles in cytoskeletal organization and cellular integrity, yet their evolutionary and functional significance in non-classical model organisms remains poorly explored. Here, we systematically identified and characterized spectrin family genes in the silkworm &...
