Venom Insulins of Cone Snails Diversify Rapidly and Track Prey Taxa

A specialized insulin was recently found in the venom of a fish-hunting cone snail, Conus geographus. Here we show that many worm-hunting and snail-hunting cones also express venom insulins, and that this novel gene family has diversified explosively.
