Integrated “omics” profiling indicates that miRNAs are modulators of the ontogenetic venom composition shift in the Central American rattlesnake, Crotalus simus simus

Table 2 RPKM (Reads per Kilobase per Million mapped reads)-normalized contigs and singletons from the venom gland transcriptomes of newborn and adult C. s. simus aligned to a reference snake venom toxin ORF
