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 the copy to the venom gland, where natural selection acts to develop or increase toxicity. However, gene duplication is know...
