For example, this garden spider can make seven different kinds of silks.

Silks made by the same spider can have dramatically different repeat sequences.

Silks for rags, kindness instead of riches, limitless food instead of hunger.

Spider silks also have a lot of potential for their anti ballistic capabilities.

Silks could be incorporated into body and equipment armor that would be more

And the strength, extensibility and toughness of spider silks combined with the fact that silks do not elicit an immune response, have attracted a lot of interest in the use of spider silks in biomedical applications, for example, as a component of artificial tendons, for serving as guides to regrow nerves, and for scaffolds for tissue growth.

For in his train today... ... he's brought us half a score of boxes full of jewels and silks...

For years they'd taken from the East nobody knows what spoils of gems, precious metals, silks, ivory, sir.

A woman of breeding and temper spirited like the fine mares of Arabia smooth like the silks of Cathay.

Cloth in Northern Europe, weapons in South Asia, silks in China, and perhaps most important of all were plant products.

Silks could be incorporated into body and equipment armor that would be more lightweight and flexible than any armor available today.

It's been hypothesized that orb weaving spiders, like this argiope here, should have the toughest dragline silks because they must intercept flying prey.

They required scores of highly skilled weavers working over extended periods of time with very expensive materials the wools, the silks, even gold and silver thread.

There are several features that all these silks have in common. They all have a common design, such as they're all very long they're sort of outlandishly long compared to other proteins.

They loaded all the gold (about 100 troy pounds or 122,000 pesos worth) and then picked through the silks, damasks, musks (used in perfume manufacture), spices, wines, and ship's supplies for what they could carry.

Nearly all of these proteins can be explained by a single gene family, so this means that the diversity of silk types we see today is encoded by one gene family, so presumably the original spider ancestor made one kind of silk, and over the last 380 million years, that one silk gene has duplicated and then diverged, specialized, over and over and over again, to get the large variety of flavors of spider silks that we have today.
