Proteotranscriptomic Insights into the Venom Composition of the Wolf Spider Lycosa tarantula
Toxins, 2020 Spider venoms represent an original source of novel compounds with therapeutic and agrochemical potential. Whereas most of the research efforts have focused on large mygalomorph spiders, araneomorph spiders are equally promising but require more ...

The trace reconstruction problem for spider graphs [PDF]
Discrete Mathematics, 346(1), 113115 (2022), 2022 We study the trace reconstruction problem for spider graphs. Let $n$ be the number of nodes of a spider and $d$ be the length of each leg, and suppose that we are given independent traces of the spider from a deletion channel in which each non-root node is deleted with probability $q$. This is a natural generalization of the string trace reconstruction

Brown Recluse spider bite mediated hemolysis: clinical features, a possible role for complement inhibitor therapy, and reduced RBC surface glycophorin A as a potential biomarker of venom exposure. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 The venom of Loxosceles reclusa (Brown Recluse spider) can cause a severe, life-threatening hemolysis in humans for which no therapy is currently available in the USA beyond supportive measures.

Linear Peptides—A Combinatorial Innovation in the Venom of Some Modern Spiders
Frontiers in Molecular Biosciences, 2021 In the venom of spiders, linear peptides (LPs), also called cytolytical or antimicrobial peptides, represent a largely neglected group of mostly membrane active substances that contribute in some spider species considerably to the killing power of spider

Watch out Venomous Snake Species: A Solution to SnakeCLEF2023 [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 The SnakeCLEF2023 competition aims to the development of advanced algorithms for snake species identification through the analysis of images and accompanying metadata. This paper presents a method leveraging utilization of both images and metadata. Modern CNN models and strong data augmentation are utilized to learn better representation of images.
