Article Synopsis
- Venom peptides from predatory organisms, like conoidean snails, are important for studying evolutionary processes and have potential for biomedical applications.
- This research focuses on terebrid snails, investigating their venom peptides (teretoxins) using next-generation sequencing, revealing 139 novel peptides and identifying 14 unique gene superfamilies.
- The findings enhance our understanding of venom diversity and evolution in marine snails and highlight opportunities for further research into gene evolution and drug development.
