Quo Vadis Venomics? A Roadmap to Neglected Venomous Invertebrates

摘要: Venomics research is being revolutionized by the increased use of sensitive -omics techniques to identify venom toxins and their transcripts in both well studied neglected venomous taxa. The study taxa necessary for understanding full diversity systems that have evolved animal kingdom, robustly answer fundamental questions about biology evolution venoms without distorting effect can result from current bias introduced some heavily In this review we draw outlines a roadmap into poorly understood putatively invertebrates, which together represent tens thousands unique venoms. main groups discuss are crustaceans, flies, centipedes, non-spider non-scorpion arachnids, annelids, molluscs, platyhelminths, nemerteans, echinoderms. We what known morphology these groups, composition venoms, bioactivities provide researchers with an entry large scattered literature. conclude short discussion important methodological aspects come light recent new
