Revisiting toxins with transcriptomics-informed proteomics of venom glands and crude venom from Centruroides bicolor from Panama.

The sting of the scorpion Centruroides bicolor causes a large morbidity in Panama. To characterize its venom, transcriptomic and proteomic analyses of the venom glands and the crude venom were performed. These two approaches utilized high-throughput sequencing to enhance the likelihood of detecting a wide range of venom proteins correlated with the venom proteome.
