Venom glands and carcasses transcriptome of Scleroderma sichuanensis
Identification of venom proteins represents a fundamental first step toward elucidating their biological functions. In recent years, the rapid advancement of high-throughput sequencing technologies has made it increasingly feasible to systematically isolate and characterize venom components in parasitoid wasps. To date, the venom composition and functional roles of endoparasitoids have been relatively well explored; in contrast, ectoparasitoids remain far less understood, particularly with respect to the diversity and complexity of their venom repertoires. In this context, the transcriptomic data generated for Scleroderma sichuanensis provide robust molecular evidence and a valuable resource, establishing a solid foundation for subsequent functional characterization and mechanistic investigations of its venom proteins.
