Abstract excerpt
A cDNA library containing snake toxin genes was constructed in bacteriophage lambda by using mRNA isolated from the glands of the South American rattlesnake, Crotalus durissus terrificus. The first high-density screening of 400,000 plaques for crotamine-containing genes yielded over 800 positives...
