"MiSp sequences vary dramatically within and among spider species, and have likely been subject to multiple rounds of gene duplication and concerted evolution, which have contributed to the diverse material properties of minor ampullate silks." https://t.c
I also got to work on another paper in undergrad, which actually involved me collecting black widow spiders and analyzing their silk under a microscope. 13/21 https://t.co/uEO5OnCSN5
