Domain loss enabled evolution of novel functions in the snake three-finger toxin gene superfamily
Abstract Three-finger toxins (3FTXs) are a functionally diverse family of toxins, apparently
unique to venoms of caenophidian snakes. Although the ancestral function of 3FTXs is …

Restriction and recruitment—gene duplication and the origin and evolution of snake venom toxins
Snake venom has been hypothesized to have originated and diversified through a process
that involves duplication of genes encoding body proteins with subsequent recruitment of …

How the cobra got its flesh-eating venom: Cytotoxicity as a defensive innovation and its co-evolution with hooding, aposematic marking, and spitting
The cytotoxicity of the venom of 25 species of Old World elapid snake was tested and
compared with the morphological and behavioural adaptations of hooding and spitting. We …
