Summary: RNA-seq experiments conducted in 454 sequencers were carried out to produce 87.000 short-reads representing the transcriptome of two spiders?spinning glands. We produced sequences from (i) Actinopus sp., a spider from the Mygalomorphae clade, and (ii) Gasteracantha cancriformis , an Orbicularia spider. Mygalomorphae spiders are known to retain a number of primitive morphological and behavioral characters.
