Global transcriptome analysis of the Mexican scorpion Centruroides noxius Hoffmann: new toxin families and evolutionary insights from an ancestral scorpion species.
Centruroides noxius
RNA was extracted from the body after telson removal of a single C. noxius scorpion, and from the telson of 20 individuals in two different conditions: in an active state of the venom gland (the telson was removed five days after venom extraction with electric stimulation) and replenishing state (no milking was performed before telson removal).
