Synthesis of Non-Native Proteins in Bombyx Mori by Modifying Sericin Expression

Abstract

Described herein are methods of producing transgenic Bombyx mori by targeting and modifying genomic regions associated with sericin proteins. Embodiments include vectors utilized for modifying one or more sericin genes. Embodiments include plasmid constructs utilized for molecular cloning of donor sequences configured for replacement of or insertion into a targeted sericin gene and utilized for transfection of Bombyx mori with the donor sequences. Embodiments include transgenic Bombyx mori that have been transfected with the donor sequences and are capable of producing a non-native protein product with minimized or prevented production of sericin.
