Phylogenetic analyses suggest centipede venom arsenals were repeatedly stocked by horizontal gene transfer
Animal venoms have evolved many times primarily by recruitment of endogenous proteins with physiological functions. Undheim and Jenner find that centipede venoms have recruited at least five gene families from bacterial and fungal donors, involving at least eight horizontal gene transfer events.
