Scientists engineer "spider" goat... Scientists at a Montreal firm have engineered a goat that has a spider's gene to make it produce super-strong spider silk in its milk. Nexia Biotechnologies Inc says production of the silk itself is set to start before the end of this year. When a "spider goat" lactates, the silk protein is extracted from its milk and turned into filament to be spun into fibre. The light but extremely strong material has applications in the medical, aerodynamic and engineering industries.  1, record 1, English, - spider%20silk

La chèvre s'avérant moins chère à l'élevage qu'une vache, Nexia a sélectionné une race particulière (BELE : Breed early lactate early : reproduction précoce lactation précoce) et a fait naître, voilà un an, Webster et Peter, les premières chèvres transgéniques produisant dans leur lait de la soie de trame d'araignée. Les applications vont des dispositifs médicaux de fermetures de plaies aux prothèses des ligaments, en passant par des fibres industrielles et les gilets pare-balles [...]  1, record 1, French, - soie%20d%27araign%C3%A9e

Silk comes from silkworms in reality, but in the fantasy setting of Telzoa there is one other source, giant spiders. Spider silk is highly prized and expensive, and it possible to weave garments ... Spider silk is almost completely waterproof, but as a result it is the most difficult fiber to dye ... Silk as we know it, that which comes from silkworms, is also available in Telzoa, although it's qualities are not as exceptional and impressive as spider silk.  2, record 2, English, - spider%20silk

Soie d'araignées. Certaines araignées vivant en Indochine, au Congo, à Madagascar, produisent une soie très fine, très résistante, mais difficile à démêler. Elle est utilisée dans la fabrication des dentelles indigènes.  2, record 2, French, - soie%20d%27araign%C3%A9e
