Biomedical Potential of the Neglected Molluscivorous and Vermivorous Conus Species [PDF]
Marine Drugs, 2022 Within the Conidae family, the piscivorous Conus species have been a hotspot target for drug discovery. Here, we assess the relevance of Conus and their other feeding habits, and thus under distinctive evolutionary constraints, to highlight the potential

Complete mitochondrial genome of Conus lischkeanus Weinkauff, 1875 (Neogastropoda, Conidae) and phylogenetic implications of the evolutionary diversification of dietary types of Conus species [PDF]
ZooKeys, 2022 The family Conidae, commonly known as cone snails, is one of the most intriguing gastropod groups owing to their diverse array of feeding behaviors (diets) and toxin peptides (conotoxins).

The role of the Sunda shelf biogeographic barrier in the cryptic differentiation of Conus litteratus (Gastropoda: Conidae) across the Indo-Pacific region [PDF]
PeerJ, 2023 Geographical and oceanographic processes have influenced the speciation of marine organisms. Cone snails are marine mollusks that show high levels of endemism and a wide distributional range across the Indian and Pacific Oceans.

Integrating Venom Peptide Libraries Into a Phylogenetic and Broader Biological Framework [PDF]
Frontiers in Molecular Biosciences, 2022 The venomous marine snails are conventionally divided into three groups, the cone snails (family Conidae), the auger snails (family Terebridae) and the turrids (formerly all assigned to a single family, Turridae).

The CODEX Approach: High-Throughput Sequencing of the Cox-1 Barcode Fragment in Neogastropods (Mollusca, Gastropoda). [PDF]
Mol Ecol ResourABSTRACT DNA barcoding traditionally relies on Sanger sequencing but faces limitations with degraded samples. High‐throughput sequencing (HTS) offers a cost‐effective alternative, enabling rapid barcode generation for extensive datasets. The advantage of HTS is its ability to employ multiplexing strategies, allowing thousands of samples to be processed

Comparative Venomics of C. flavidus and C. frigidus and Closely Related Vermivorous Cone Snails [PDF]
Marine Drugs, 2022 Cone snail venom biodiversity reflects dietary preference and predatory and defensive envenomation strategies across the ≈900 species of Conidae. To better understand the mechanisms of adaptive radiations in closely related species, we investigated the ...

Venom Diversity and Evolution in the Most Divergent Cone Snail Genus Profundiconus [PDF]
Toxins, 2019 Profundiconus is the most divergent cone snail genus and its unique phylogenetic position, sister to the rest of the family Conidae, makes it a key taxon for examining venom evolution and diversity. Venom gland and foot transcriptomes of Profundiconus cf.

A Combined Transcriptomics and Proteomics Approach Reveals the Differences in the Predatory and Defensive Venoms of the Molluscivorous Cone Snail Cylinder ammiralis (Caenogastropoda: Conidae) [PDF]
Toxins, 2021 Venoms are complex mixtures of proteins that have evolved repeatedly in the animal kingdom. Cone snail venoms represent one of the best studied venom systems.
