i5K Comments for Latrodectus hesperus
The three related widow species will facilitate gene annotation, regulatory sequence identification, and ortho/paralogy detection. Model organism for mating behavior, development, silk genetics, and venom research. Genomic resources already available including a fosmid genomic library, 1009 traditional ESTs, and established methods for FISH. Extensive expression data will be available from high-throughput sequencing of RNA from tissues wuch as individual silk and venom glands, cephalothorax, and ovaries. Tissue stored at -80. Dense populations readily available in southern California. Three generation inbred lines could be produced in 1 year. Rearing operation already run by Chuck Christensen (SpiderPharm). High quality genomic DNA can be extracted quickly, as demonstrated by prior production of genomic library Nadia Ayoub
