Uloborus diversus is a species of cribellate orb weaver in the spider family Uloboridae. It is found in the desert regions of the Southwestern United States and Mexico.[1][2][3][4] It is an important model species for understanding the evolution of spidroins and understanding orb-weaving behavior.[5] To provide resources for this research a 2.15-Gbp chromosome-level draft genome assembly was sequenced and assembled to 10 chromosomes.[6]
