The lethal toxin from Australian funnel-web spiders is encoded by an intronless gene.

The lethal toxin from Australian funnel-web spiders is encoded by an intronless gene.

Australian funnel-web spiders are generally considered the most dangerous spiders in the world, with envenomations from the Sydney funnel-web spider Atrax robustus resulting in at least 14 human fatalities prior to the introduction of an effective anti-venom in 1980. The clinical envenomation syndro...
