Venomics research is being revolutionized by the increased use of sensitive-omics
techniques to identify venom toxins and their transcripts in both well studied and neglected …

Centipedes are among the oldest extant venomous predators on the planet. Armed with a
pair of modified, venom-bearing limbs, they are an important group of predatory arthropods …

This paper is the result of an international initiative and is a first attempt to develop
guidelines for the care and welfare of cephalopods (ie nautilus, cuttlefish, squid and …

Animal venoms are theorized to evolve under the significant influence of positive Darwinian
selection in a chemical arms race scenario, where the evolution of venom resistance in prey …

Snake venom gene evolution has been studied intensively over the past several decades,
yet most previous studies have lacked the context of complete snake genomes and the full …

Despite Cnidaria (sea anemones, corals, jellyfish, and hydroids) being the oldest venomous
animal lineage, structure–function relationships, phyletic distributions, and the molecular …

Macrobrachium rosenbergii is the most economically important of the cultured freshwater
crustacean species, yet there is currently a deficiency in genomic and transcriptomic …

Animal venoms have evolved many times. Venomous species are especially common in
three of the four main groups of arthropods (Chelicerata, Myriapoda, and Hexapoda), which …

Despite the staggering diversity of venomous animals, there seems to be remarkable
convergence in regard to the types of proteins used as toxin scaffolds. However, our …

Members of phylum Cnidaria are an ancient group of venomous animals and rely on a
number of specialized tissues to produce toxins in order to fulfil a range of ecological roles …
