Evolutionary shifts in gene expression decoupled from gene duplication across functionally distinct spider silk glands

Abstract Spider silk synthesis is an emerging model for the evolution of tissue-specific gene expression and the role of gene duplication in functional novelty, but its potential has not been fully realized. Accordingly, we quantified transcript (mRNA) abundance in seven silk gland types and three n...
