Preface
Insects are one of the versatile groups of the animal kingdom with a large population and are long since attracting researchers to disclose their molecular biology and use them for the benefit of humankind. Several traditional insects such as silkworms, honey bee, lac, Drosophila, termites, etc. are genetically and economically important and are the best invertebrate animal models. In the modern era of genetic engineering, these insects open a new horizon in the molecular biology with a multidisciplinary approach. Additionally, insect-derived products are widely used in biomedical and biotechnology industries. In this book, we made an effort to club together various recent aspects of insect molecular biology, including insect genomics, proteomics, virology, noncoding RNA, nano-biotechnology, recombinant insect products, and their applications in modern research. Therefore, this volume will certainly help academics and scientists to better understand and carry out research on in
