Diversification of a single ancestral gene into a successful toxin superfamily in highly venomous Australian funnel-web spiders

BACKGROUND: Spiders have evolved pharmacologically complex venoms that serve to rapidly subdue prey and deter predators. The major toxic factors in most spider venoms are small, disulfide-rich peptides. While there is abundant evidence that snake venoms evolved by recruitment of genes encoding norma...
