Characterization of the genome and silk-gland transcriptomes of Darwin's bark spider (Caerostris darwini).
Natural silks crafted by spiders comprise some of the most versatile materials known. Artificial silks-based on the sequences of their natural brethren-replicate some desirable biophysical properties and are increasingly utilized in commercial and medical applications today. To characterize the repe...
