Hologenomics data for the Mengla snail-eating snake (Pareas menglaensis) (PRJCA032174)

Serpents, as a highly adaptable vertebrate group, provide robust models for studying the mechanisms of dietary specialization. Using an integrative multi-omics approach, encompassing host genomic, transcriptomic, proteomic, and gut metagenomic data, and enzymatic assays of key metabolic pathways, we investigated the mechanisms underlying dietary adaptations in the Mengla snail-eating snake (Pareas menglaensis), a species with a pronounced dietary preference for snails.
