Distinct regulatory networks control toxin gene expression in elapid and viperid snakes

Distinct regulatory networks control toxin gene expression in elapid and viperid snakes

Abstract Background Venom systems are ideal models to study genetic regulatory mechanisms that underpin evolutionary novelty. Snake venom glands are thought to share a common origin, but there are major distinctions between venom toxins from the medically significant snake families Elapidae and Vipe...
