Variation and evolution of toxin gene expression patterns of six closely related venomous marine snails.

Molecular ecology - 1 Jun 2008

Duda T F, Remigio E A

Abstract excerpt

Venoms of predatory marine gastropods of the genus Conus show amazing levels of interspecific diversity and are comprised of a cocktail of peptide neurotoxins, termed conotoxins, that are encoded by large gene families. Conotoxin gene family evolution is characterized by gene duplications and high rates of nonsynonymous substitution among paralogues; yet, what controls the differentiation of venoms among species...
