Project description:The venom of cone snails is highly variable both between and within species, as well as spatially along the venom duct. However, defferences of defensive and predatory venoms in "hook-and-line" fish hunting clades and their venom duct origins has not been investigated. In this study a combination of proteomics and transcriptomic approaches were used to decode the venom profiles of C. striatus from the Pionoconus clade. The raw data files obtained from the reduced alkylated and digested venom duct sections (distal, central and proximal), injected predatory and defensive induced venoms are submitted here.
