Without that consistency data you can't even begin to know what kind of finished goods .....



Were it not for es1, I would not have seen your post. If you go way back to when the PNAS report came out, I quoted these blocks of text, for this very same argument way back then. You should check for keywords in "the data" prior to saying "it doesn't exist." For the record and ease of focus, this argument is about fiber consistency.

From the PNAS data....

The silk fibers produced by these animals were composite materials that included chimeric silkworm/spider silk proteins integrated in an extremely stable manner.

..and

Furthermore, these composite fibers were, on average, tougher than the parental silkworm silk fibers and as tough as native dragline spider silk fibers. These results demonstrate that silkworms can be engineered to manufacture composite silk fibers containing stably integrated spider silk protein sequences, which significantly improve the overall mechanical properties of the parental silkworm silk fibers.


...and

In summary, the present study yielded transgenic silkworm lines that produce composite silk fibers containing stably integrated chimeric silkworm/spider silk proteins that significantly improve their mechanical properties, despite low incorporation levels. On average, the composite fibers produced by our transgenic silkworm lines were significantly tougher than those produced by the parental animals and as tough as a native dragline spider silk fiber.

still a very long way to go. Chill!



LOL, I was chilling in the knowledge that we were already there. As I said, these arguments have already been had. It is much wiser to frame an assertion.... in the form of a question, if there is a chance you don't know what you are talking about.
