Blueprint for a high-performance biomaterial: full-length spider dragline silk genes. by Nadia A Ayoub, Jessica E Garb, Robin M Tinghitella, Matthew A Collin, Cheryl Y Hayashi

“…For this reason, the mass-production of artificial spider silks through transgenic technologies has been a major goal of biomimetics research. Although all known arthropod silk proteins are extremely large (>200 kiloDaltons), recombinant spider silks have been designed from short and incomplete cDNAs, the only available sequences. …”
