Beginning a chain of events that will presumably lead to the origin of our universe's Spider-Man, researchers in Germany have ...

In a quiet lab in Bayreuth, Germany, a team of researchers has achieved what has long eluded geneticists: modifying the ...

Scientists created the world's first gene-edited spider, which spins webs that glow red under the right lighting conditions.

In a study published in the journal Angewandte Chemie, researchers at the University of Bayreuth created the world’s first CRISPR-modified spiders, some of which produced red fluorescent silk ...

Using CRISPR-Cas9, the University of Bayreuth’s Biomaterials research group was able to bioengineer a common house spider to produce glowing red silk. Professor Thomas Scheibel and doctoral ...

Knock-ins: To the spiders, the researchers added biological information for a red protein to the MaSp2 gene to see if it would affect silk color. Both the knock-in and knock-out experiments were ...
