NGS transcriptome analysis of Grammostola rosea venom gland. Grammostola rosea

Venoms are complex mixtures of many different components proven to be useful tools for biochemical, physiological, and pharmacological studies of ion channels and receptors. Toxins that recognize ion channel subgroups are versatile tools for channel studies and thus contribute to drug discovery. We focused on the tarantula toxins. We performed transcriptome analysis of the Chilean common tarantula Grammostola rosea venom glands by applying Next Generation Sequencing
