A molecular atlas reveals the tri-sectional spinning mechanism of spider dragline silk

The genetic basis of spider major ampullate (Ma) gland silk production remains unknown. Hu et al. unveil a molecular atlas of this gland for the golden orb-weaving spider combining genome assembly and multiomics, revealing the single-cell spatial architecture of silk production in the Ma gland.
