Venomous cone snails: molecular phylogeny and the generation of toxin diversity.

Toxicon : official journal of the International Society on Toxinology - 1 Dec 2001

Espiritu D J, Watkins M, Dia-Monje V, Cartier G E, Cruz L J, Olivera B M

Abstract excerpt

In order to investigate the generation of conotoxin diversity, delta-conotoxin sequences from nine Conus species were analyzed in the context of their phylogeny. Using a standard molecular marker, mitochondrial 16S RNA, we determined that the delta-conotoxins were derived from three distinct spec...
