Summary

Tripal data table
Type	organism
Genus	Latrodectus
Species	hesperus
Common Name	Western black widow spider
Genome Browser	JBrowse Viewer for Latrodectus hesperus
Description	The three related widow species will facilitate gene annotation, regulatory sequence identification, and ortho/paralogy detection. This is a 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 is stored at -80. Data were generated by the Baylor College of Medicine's i5k pilot project. View the Baylor College of Medicine's data sharing policy.
