That’s right, they made it so the spider would have a red fluorescent protein that becomes a part of the spider’s silk. This wasn’t done just because glow in the dark spider silk sounds cool ...

In a major development, the CRISPR-Cas9 gene-editing tool has been successfully used in spiders for the first time, resulting in the production of red fluorescent silk. Spider silk is an amazing ...

Scientists have officially brought genetic engineering to the spider's web. For the first time, researchers have created a gene-edited spider that spins red fluorescent silk. Led by a team at the ...

Researchers used the popular gene-editing technique CRISPR to modify the DNA sequences of house spiders, causing them to produce red fluorescent silk. Scientists are hoping that the US Navy and ...
