Summary
This study analyzes venom tissue-related data from the Tox-Prot database across three time points (2005, 2015, 2025) to understand the growth and diversification of animal venomics research. The researchers assessed taxonomic distribution, sequence length patterns, protein family abundances, and habitat-specific venom characteristics over two decades of database curation.

· 3 pulledAnimal venomics is a growing field of research with evolutionary and biotechnological significance.
Yet, fundamental questions regarding the origin, diversification, and bioactivity of venoms remain unresolved.
We assessed the taxonomic landscape related to Tox-Prot entries, sequence length distribution, protein family abundances, and habitat-specific venom patterns.
