Figure 11

Relative abundance of the major toxin classes in Bothrops venom glands determined by transcriptomic analysis. Abundance is expressed as a percentage of the total toxin transcripts and was calculated by dividing the number of ESTs for each toxin family by the total number of toxin ESTs reported in each study. This standardization allowed direct comparisons across studies. Data sources other than B. alternatus were: B. atrox [16], B. insularis [11], B. jararaca [15] and B. jararacussu [14].
