Functional annotations of each transcript. These annotations were performed by doing blast against human and Drosophila gene sets.

Blast Search of each transcript was done against human (version GRCh38)and Drosophila melanogaster (version BDGP6.22) protein data set in Ensemble database. Top hit gene in the results was converted to symbol description by Biomart.

Metadata of Bombyx mori reference transcriptomic data is described in GFT2 file format.

Tissues of silk gland, fat body, midgut, Malpighian tubules, testis and ovary were dissected on the 3rd day of fifth instar larva which is Silkworm P50T (daizo) strain. The silk gland was further subdivided into anterior silk gland, anterior part of the middle silk gland, middle part of the middle silk gland, posterior part of the middle silk gland and posterior silk gland . Each tissue was dissected from one individual and totally three biological replicates were obtained and analyzed separately. The tissues were homogenized using ISOGEN (NIPPON GENE, Tokyo, Japan) and SV Total RNA Isolation System (Promega, Madison, WI) was used for RNA extraction.　The extract total RNA samples were sequenced by Illumina Novaseq6000 (Macrogen Japan Corp., Kyoto, Japan) .
