When Snakes Strike: SMRT Sequencing helps reveal hidden “venom-ome.” Check out how @SGRF_Science & @agrigenome are progressing anti-venom science by decoding the Indian cobra genome. https://t.co/csMVHT1PuJ
Two new studies on snake venom glands have implications for improved anti-venom development. One describes the de novo assembly of an Indian cobra reference genome and venom gland transcriptome; the other describes the derivation of snake venom gland organoids.

🐍 Snakebites cause more than 120,000 deaths a year.
It shouldn't have to be this way.
Here's why decoding the Indian Cobra's genome could revolutionise #snakebite treatments 🧬👉 https://t.co/Sy2ZoSuCp3
@Giulia97557761 Hi there, we've submitted the annotation and it's currently being validated/processed. Thanks for your patience!

Each year, about 46,000 people die and 140,000 people are disabled in India from snakebites by the ‘Big 4’ — the Indian cobra, the common krait, Russell’s viper, and the saw-scaled viper. #Snakes#Genome#Cobra#Venom
