In addition to a structural gene, the DNA usually includes other sequences to enable it to be incorporated into the DNA of the host and to be expressed correctly by the cells of the host.

Transgenic sheep and goats have been produced that express foreign proteins in their milk. For example, spider goats are goats in which the gene from spiders that causes certain cells to produce silk into goats has been introduced, tricking the goats' mammary glands into producing silk along with milk. The goats would become biological factories for BioSteel, an incredibly light fabric both biodegradable and strong enough to stop bullets.
It is thought that BioSteel could be used in everything from body armor to spacecraft construction. It could replace plastics and other materials the body typically rejects for artificial tendons, ligaments and other prostheses.
