Short Toxin-like Proteins Abound in Cnidaria Genomes

Short Toxin-like Proteins Abound in Cnidaria Genomes

Cnidaria is a rich phylum that includes thousands of marine species. In this study, we focused on Anthozoa and Hydrozoa that are represented by the Nematostella vectensis (Sea anemone) and Hydra magnipapillata genomes. We present a method for ranking the toxin-like candidates from complete proteomes...
