Population Genomic Analysis of a Pitviper Reveals Microevolutionary Forces Underlying Venom Chemistry
Venoms are among the most biologically active secretions known, and are commonly believed to evolve under extreme positive selection. Many venom gene families, however, have undergone duplication, and are often deployed in doses vastly exceeding the LD(50) for most prey species, which should reduce...
