Gene and Genome Duplication in Spiders
Journal of Experimental Zoology Part B: Molecular and Developmental Evolution, EarlyView.In chelicerates whole genome duplications (WGDs) were identified in distinct groups. While there is evidence that Xiphosurans/horseshoe crabs had three rounds of WGD and arachnopulmonates (e.g. spiders and scorpions) had one WGD, in many other arachnid groups no WGD was identified.

Genomic organization of the KTX2 gene, encoding a `short' scorpion toxin active on K+ channels [PDF]
, 1997 A single intron of 87 bp, close to the region encoding the C-terminal part of the signal peptide, was found in the gene of the `short' scorpion toxin kaliotoxin 2 of Androctonus australis acting on various types of K+ channels.

Unveiling the Evolutionary History of European Vipers and Their Venoms From a Multi‐Omic Approach
Molecular Ecology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Snake genomes attract significant attention from multiple disciplines, including medicine, drug bioprospection, and evolutionary biology. However, genomic research within the Viperidae family has mostly focused on the subfamily Crotalinae, while the true vipers (Viperinae) have largely been overlooked.

Are ticks venomous animals? [PDF]
, 2017 [Introduction]: As an ecological adaptation venoms have evolved independently in several species of Metazoa. As haematophagous arthropods ticks are mainly considered as ectoparasites due to directly feeding on the skin of animal hosts. Ticks are of major
