The transcriptome of Darwin’s bark spider silk glands predicts proteins contributing to dragline silk toughness
Darwin’s bark spider (Caerostris darwini) produces giant orb webs from dragline silk that can be twice as tough as other silks, making it the toughest biological material. This extreme toughness comes from increased extensibility relative to other draglines. We show C. darwini dragline-producing maj...
