Transcriptomic profile of the venom glands of P. mertensi by RNAseq. The “venom” category corresponds to transcripts coding for known or putative venom components, classified based on their sequence similarities to known toxin superfamilies. The relative expression is indicated by the percentage of expression values (RPKM–reads per kilobase per million of mapped reads) of each category among all transcripts (left chart) or among venom-related transcripts (right chart). In parentheses are the total RPKM in each category. 3FTx: three finger toxin; 5NUCLEO: 5′nucleotidase; CYST, cystatin; CRISP: cysteine-rich secretory protein; CNP: C-type natriuretic peptide; CTL: C-type lectin; KUN: Kunitz-type proteins; KUWAPF: Ku-wap-fusin-like protein; LAAO: l-amino acid oxidase; svLIPA: snake venom acid lipase; svMMP: snake venom matrix metalloproteinase; OHANIN: Ohanin-like protein; PLB: phospholipase B; bPLA₂i: beta type PLA₂ inhibitor; gPLA₂i: gamma type PLA₂ inhibitor; WAP: wap domain containing protein.
