We assayed the RNA expression levels of the genes encoding the sodium channel modulator neurotoxin Nv1
Would similar RNA levels be found in animals like platypus.

Some animals produce a mixture of toxins, commonly known as venom, to protect themselves from predators and catch prey.
If this experiment were ever expanded upon, would venomous species in Australia be perfect to use? There are many poisonous and venomous species on the continent. Specifically, the male platypus.
