Advances in the last decade combining transcriptomics with established proteomics
methods have made possible rapid identification and quantification of protein families in�…

Venoms are integrated phenotypes that evolved independently in, and are used for
predatory and defensive purposes by, a wide phylogenetic range of organisms. The same�…

This work offers a general overview on the evolving strategies for the proteomic analysis of
snake venoms, and discusses how these may be combined through diverse experimental�…

Adult rattlesnakes within genus Crotalus express one of two distinct venom phenotypes, type
I (hemorrhagic) and type II (neurotoxic). In Costa Rican Central American rattlesnake�…

Lataste's viper (Vipera latastei) is a venomous European viper endemic to the Iberian
Peninsula, recognised as medically important by the World Health Organization. To date, no�…

Evolution of novel traits is a challenging subject in biological research. Several snake
lineages developed elaborate venom systems to deliver complex protein mixtures for prey�…

Snakebite envenoming is a neglected tropical disease that may claim over 100,000 human
lives annually worldwide. Snakebite occurs as the result of an interaction between a human�…

As trophic adaptations, rattlesnake venoms can vary in composition depending on several
intrinsic and extrinsic factors. Ontogenetic changes in venom composition have been�…

European vipers (genus Vipera) are medically important snakes displaying considerable
venom variation, occurring at different levels in this group. The presence of intraspecific�…

Snake species within the Bothrops complex (sensu lato) are of medical relevance in Latin
America, but knowledge on their venom characteristics is limited, or even unavailable, for�…
