Abstract excerpt
Chelicerates represent a basal arthropod group, which makes them an excellent system for the study of evolutionary processes in arthropods. To enable functional studies in chelicerates, we developed a double-stranded RNA-interference (RNAi) protocol for spiders while studying the function of the Distal-less gene. We isolated the Distal-less gene from the spider Cupiennius salei. Cs-Dll gene expression is first...
