Abstract

An ocean of data: Huge numbers of protein toxins are found in animal venoms. This diversity is widely believed to have arisen by gene duplication events. However, recent data now challenges this tradition view. Here we highlight how jellyfish could hold the key to unravelling toxin diversification, with a view towards future combinatorial biosynthesis of toxin libraries.
