The 70 kDa heat shock proteins play important roles in protecting organisms against environmental stresses, which are divided into stress-inducible forms (HSP70s) and heat shock cognates (HSC70s). In this study, heat shock protein 70 family was identified in the whole genome of the silkworm. Based o...
