New Insights Into Biomphalysin Gene Family Diversification in the Vector Snail Biomphalaria glabrata

Aerolysins initially characterized as virulence factors in bacteria are increasingly found in massive genome and transcriptome sequencing data from metazoans. Horizontal gene transfer has been demonstrated as the main way of aerolysin-related toxins acquisition in metazoans. However, only few studie...
