Gene sequence analysis of toxins from the spider Phoneutria nigriventer revealed an intronless feature

Abstract Background: Phoneutria nigriventer spider venom contains several cysteine-rich peptide toxins that act on different ion channels. Despite extensive studies on its venom and description of cDNA sequences of several of its toxin precursors, the gene structure of these toxins remains unknown....
