Scrutinizing the Wallacean shortfall: global gaps in snake occurrence data across space and environment

open access: yesEcography, Volume 2026, Issue 7, July 2026.
Occurrence records are fundamental for ecological and evolutionary research, providing key information on species' geographic ranges. However, these records are often taxonomically, spatially, and temporally biased, requiring caution in their use. Here, we analysed the spatial coverage of occurrence records for over 3500 snake species worldwide to ...

Bioinformatics‐Driven Design and Evaluation of Recombinant Multi‐Epitope Immunogens Derived From Snake Venom Toxins as Potential Antivenom Candidates

open access: yesProteins: Structure, Function, and Bioinformatics, Volume 94, Issue 7, Page 1403-1426, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Snakebite envenomation is a major public health concern, particularly in low‐ and middle‐income regions where access to safe and effective antivenoms is limited. Traditional antivenoms, derived from immunization with crude venom, often trigger adverse reactions and lack specificity against key venom components.

Degradomics for large‐scale mechanistic insights on proteases and proteolysis in human health

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, Volume 293, Issue 13, Page 3881-3898, July 2026.
Proteolysis has an important role in human disease but remains relatively unexplored. Degradomics, the uncovering of proteolysis in tissues, cells, and proteins, uses mass spectrometry‐based terminomics to identify protein termini occurring therein (forward degradomics) and to define the actions of proteases (reverse degradomics).
