There is an organization that is experimenting with using spicer genes in the milk producing glands of goats to create milk with the strong silk fibers. I think they has planned to try to use the fibers for bulletproof vests, etc. I can't remember where I read it, but it was VEY interesting.

This is the same school that let out (unaccounted for inventory of live specimens?) all of its imported tent
caterpillars (aka Gypsy Moths) when deemed unsuitable for silk.
