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. It is an important model species for understanding the evolution of spidroins and understanding orb-weaving behavior.{{Cite journal |last=Corver |first=Abel |last2=Wilkerson |first2=Nicholas |last3=Miller |first3=Jeremiah |last4=Gordus |first4=Andrew |date=November 2021 |title=Distinct movement patterns generate stages of spider web building |url=|journal=Current Biology |volume=31 |issue=22 |pages=4983–4997.e5 |doi=10.1016/j.cub.2021.09.030 |issn=0960-9822 |pmc=8612999 |pmid=34619095}} To provide resources for this research a 2.15-Gbp chromosome-level draft genome assembly was sequenced and assembled to 10 chromosomes.{{Cite journal |last=Miller |first=Jeremiah |last2=Zimin |first2=Aleksey V |last3=Gordus |first3=Andrew |date=2022-12-28 |title=Chromosome-level genome and the identification of sex chromosomes in Uloborus diversus |url=|journal=GigaScience |volume=12 |doi=10.1093/gigascience/giad002 |issn=2047-217X |pmc=9912274 |pmid=36762707}}
