Laboratory activity/analysis: We have used the COI genetic marker to examine the phylogenetic relationships of the specimens collected. This marker was adequate for some nodes but not others. Thus other genetic markers are being evaluated for relative usefulness. We have also conducted different assays to examine the enzymatic properties of the venoms. In the next year we will use reverse phase HPLC to purify the crude venoms into individual toxins and examine their properties. We will also commence cDNA library construction in order to obtain full-length sequences of the toxins.
