Abstract excerpt
In order to produce a global panorama of the transcriptional activity of snake venom glands and to correlate with its venom composition, we constructed a DNA complementary to RNA library from the venom glands of the Viperidae snake Bothrops insularis for the generation of expressed sequence tags (ESTs). Sequences from 610 independent clones were grouped in 297 clusters, revealing the putative identification of...
