Two new studies on snake venom glands have implications for improved anti-venom development. One describes the de novo assembly of an Indian cobra reference genome and venom gland transcriptome; the other describes the derivation of snake venom gland organoids.

🐍 Snakebites cause more than 120,000 deaths a year. It shouldn't have to be this way. Here's why decoding the Indian Cobra's genome could revolutionise #snakebite treatments 🧬👉 wired.com/story/scientists-f…

Scientists Figured Out the Indian Cobra's Genome—at Last

With the genetic recipe for the snake's lethal venom in hand, researchers will have an easier time producing an antidote.

Each year, about 46,000 people die and 140,000 people are disabled in India from snakebites by the ‘Big 4’ — the Indian cobra, the common krait, Russell’s viper, and the saw-scaled viper. #Snakes #Genome #Cobra #Venom trib.al/xF87WOe

Genomics, transcriptomics and proteomics can help accelerate efforts to modernize the production of safe and cost-effective antivenom.
Antivenoms, the only medically approved current snakebite treatment, involves a technology first pioneered in 1896.
