Adaptive venom evolution and toxicity in octopods is driven by extensive novel gene formation, expansion, and loss
BACKGROUND: Cephalopods represent a rich system for investigating the genetic basis underlying organismal novelties. This diverse group of specialized predators has evolved many adaptations including proteinaceous venom. Of particular interest is the blue-ringed octopus genus (Hapalochlaena), which...
