From: House spider genome uncovers evolutionary shifts in the diversity and expression of black widow venom proteins associated with extreme toxicity

Fig. 5

House spider genes with highest venom gland expression compose an uncharacterized family of putative toxins. a Tandemly arrayed members of a novel gene family with 10 fold or greater expression in venom glands (green ovals) or in silk glands (yellow ovals) located on scaffold 2250. Numbers above genes indicate rank in order of highest venom gland expression among all genome predicted genes (e.g., aug3.g16526 had highest venom gland expression, with TPM = 144578). b Midpoint rooted Bayesian 50% consensus tree of novel family. Venom gland and silk biased expression labeled as in legend above. Gray ovals at nodes indicate posterior probability of = > 0.95. Non-house spider sequences labeled with GenBank accession numbers.
