Abstract

ObjectivesBombyx mori is the key contributor to industrial silk production. The maximum production of silk occurs during 5th instar. The posterior silk glands in the larvae are responsible for the production of the main component of silk fibre—fibroin. The expression of genes and their regulation are dependent on the chromatin architecture. The nuclear matrix supports its structure and function by anchoring specific regions to regulate gene expression. The major constituent of the nuclear matrix, crucial to its structural and temporal maintenance, is its RNA. Therefore, the study of nuclear matrix RNA of the posterior silk glands on different days of 5th instar larval development is essential to understand its association to differential expression of genes.Data descriptionThe tissue-specific developmental association of nuclear matrix RNA (NuMat RNA) at the genome level has not been done so far for any organism. Bombyx mori, CSR2 X CSR4 is the most popular dihybrid strain in India. The nuclear matrix RNA was isolated from day 1, day 5 and day 7 of 5th instar posterior silk glands of Bombyx mori. The NuMat RNA was sequenced using Illumina platform. The reads obtained were processed and the datasets were deposited in NCBI.

Highlights

The nuclear matrix RNA was isolated from day 1, day 5 and day 7 of 5th instar posterior silk glands of Bombyx mori
As the NuMat RNA is the main contributor to the structural stability of the nuclear matrix, we aimed to study its changes and dynamics exhibited on different days in posterior silk glands during 5th instar larval development of B. mori larvae
This study explores first time the developmental datasets of NuMat RNA in posterior silk glands which can be used to understand the possible role in regulation of gene expression

Summary

Introduction

The nuclear matrix RNA was isolated from day 1, day 5 and day 7 of 5th instar posterior silk glands of Bombyx mori. As the NuMat RNA is the main contributor to the structural stability of the nuclear matrix, we aimed to study its changes and dynamics exhibited on different days (day 1, day 5 and day 7) in posterior silk glands during 5th instar larval development of B. mori larvae. This study explores first time the developmental datasets of NuMat RNA in posterior silk glands which can be used to understand the possible role in regulation of gene expression.
