“…Variety searching, characterization viewing, general information, and a photo gallery are the four main function menus in the silkworm database. The database provides of 321 silkworm gene resources and 1,132 images regarding life cycle of various silkworm varieties" [23]. With the help of the National Bioresource Project, which began in 2002, resources for mutants of B. mori have been concentrated at Kyushu University in Japan.…”

Rapid advances in genomic and other molecular research tools, as well as advances in information technology, have resulted in a massive volume of data relevant to molecular biology during the last several decades. The term "bioinformatics" refers to the mathematical and computational methods used to get a better understanding of biological processes. Bioinformatics commonly uses genetic sequences, which are easier to manage with computers than by hand. Although genomic and proteomic techniques have advanced our understanding of how genes and proteins contribute to physiology, biochemistry, genetics, and evolution in insects, a complete picture of genomics and proteomics and their interactions remains difficult. Meanwhile, bioinformatics developments have discovered hidden omics features in other species, leaving insects with a substantial information gap. Bombyx mori has sparked research interest in countries all over the world due to its adaptability and status as the first Lepidopteran species to have its genome sequenced. The entire genome sequence of the silkworm was reported in 2004 and updated in 2008 based on its biological and industrial value. The genome of B. mori was the first in a lepidopteran to be sequenced, and it has served as a foundation for Lepidoptera research. Bioinformatics tools and techniques not only aided in the detection of proteomic and genomic variation among species/strains, but also led to the discovery of a gap in a silkworm genome sequence that diverged during domestication. Databases of Seri-bioinformatics are an important Seri-bioresource. The accessible internet resources on silkworms and associated organisms, such as databases and informational websites like SilkDB, MorusDB, WildSilkbase, KAIKObase, SilkPathDB etc., have aid in the improvement of silkworm health, disease resistance, and productivity. These databases contain information on gene, protein, disease sequences, and have evolved as a highly beneficial platform via which the scientific community may communicate molecular data across the globe with a single mouse click, not only minimizing the gap and time but also allowing information to be accessed. This review paper will cover all of these bioinformatics tools and methodologies in order to better understand their application in silkworms and host plants.

“…of 321 varieties collected from different regions including Korea, China, Japan, Europe, tropical region and non-classified group along with 1132 photo images of different life stages of these silkworm varieties. It also allows the users to access information regarding silkworm races such as univoltine, bivoltine, multivoltine and others ( 53 ). SilkwormBase hosts around 456 phenotypically classified strains and a total of 419 genes.…”

Recent progress in the field of sequencing and analysis has led to a tremendous spike in data and the development of data science tools. One of the outcomes of this scientific progress is development of numerous databases which are gaining popularity in all disciplines of biology including sericulture. As economically important organism, silkworms are studied extensively for their numerous applications in the field of textiles, biomaterials, biomimetics, etc. Similarly, host plants, pests, pathogens, etc. are also being probed to understand the seri-resources more efficiently. These studies have led to the generation of numerous seri-related databases which are extremely helpful for the scientific community. In this article, we have reviewed all the available online resources on silkworm and its related organisms, including databases as well as informative websites. We have studied their basic features and impact on research through citation count analysis, finally discussing the role of emerging sequencing and analysis technologies in the field of seri-data science. As an outcome of this review, a web portal named SeriPort, has been created which will act as an index for the various sericulture-related databases and web resources available in cyberspace.Database URL: http://www.seriport.in/

“…With the progress of genomic technology, access to information about silkworms such as genome sequencing and genetic markers has accelerated (Kim et al 2010). Various genotypes have shown that there are many differences in quantitative and qualitative traits which have an important part in silkworm efficiency (Nagaraju & Singh 1997).…”

Silkworm, Bombyx mori, is one of the most significant insects in silk production as well as in biological studies. The aim of silkworm breeding is to gradually improve economically valuable traits to increase the profits of the sericulture industry. This article reviews the necessity and achievements of research based on genetics and breeding. Some genetic principles in silkworms, along with the goals and outcomes of breeding are reviewed briefly. Selection under different environmental conditions, calculation of breeding values, quantitative and qualitative traits, consanguinity and heritability are also discussed.
