Y-Chromosome Variation in Southern African Khoe-San Populations Based on Whole-Genome Sequences.

abstract：:Cnidarians represent one of the few groups of venomous animals that lack a centralized venom transmission system. Instead, they are equipped with stinging capsules collectively known as nematocysts. Nematocysts vary in abundance and type across different tissues; however, the venom composition in most species remains ...
