Advancement in\nhigh-throughput technologies in the field of venomics has resulted in the\nability to generate comprehensive venom profiles for many species. However,\nresearch on snake genomes is still in its infancy, although such studies are\neagerly awaited to gain insights into the evolutionary history of snake venom\nproteins, including the mechanisms that originated venom and the regulation of\ntoxin expression. Fortunately, this objective is also at the reach of current\nomic technologies. Therefore it would not be unrealistic to predict a bright\nnear future to the field of molecular toxinology.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eVenom\nGenomics and Proteomics \u003c\/i\u003ecovers\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003eresearch into the venom of scaled reptiles (lizards and\nsnakes), scorpions, spiders, ants and platypuses.

The final chapters give some insight into the potential clinical\nuses of venom derivatives and into the importance and challenges faced in the\nproduction and quality control of antivenoms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2016-01-14\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9789400764156\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-007-6416-3\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 454\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49475321626764,"sku":"9789400764156","price":341.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9789400764156.jpg?v=1777995361","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9789400764156","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
