About 3 years ago @anaturalist and I started on a quest to explore spider venoms and their evolution. Today I am excited to share our work (which recently got accepted in @eLife for publication), tracing the origin of spider venoms.

wow...this is some earth-shattering work of a research institute!

From witnessing your magic on TV to yelling 'CHHETRIII CHHETRIII' on the sidelines it has been a journey to cherish. Thank you for inspiring countless generations💙

Happening today! Join us at 21:30 IST (16:00 GMT) to unravel the mysteries of spider venom and discover the potential of snake venom in cancer treatment!
#VenomWednesday
It's #VenomWednesday!
Today with a travel from 🕷 India to 🐍 Mexico (see attached post)
Join us in 8h via Zoom: tu-berlin.zoom.us/j/66708444…
Thanks for sharing and the opportunity @DammMaik! I'm excited to be on ITT. Join us to hear about the origins of venom in spiders, tackling cancer with snake venom and more!
Thank you @SLaxme for recommending me.
#VenomWednesday
#VenomWednesday is back - next week!
This time a bit later since we have to cover the travel from Indian spiders to Mexican snakes

NEW PAPER: Ever wondered why insects fly in all sorts of crazy patterns around lights at night? So did we! We set about recording flying insects to work out what's going on. I'll summarise what we found in this 🧵. Spoiler: We don't think they confuse lights with the moon.

Unusually, nearly all spider venoms come from a single type of toxin.
Kartik Sunagar’s (@anaturalist) team traced them back to a common ancestor 375 million years ago named ‘Adi Shakti’, after the creator of the Universe in Hindu mythology. #eLifePodcast elifesciences.org/podcast/ep…

Had a great time at #ISCE2023
Thank you @anaturalist for the opportunity and constan support!
Thankful to my coauthors @naeemtree and @_Kumar_Birendra, the prize is as much yours as is mine!
Grateful to @ChemEcol_org for this amazing experience!
Tune in to the eLife podcast and hear @anaturalist chat about our work on the origin of spider venoms. 🕷️

Had a good little chat with Chris about our work on spider venoms for the eLife podcast.

Where did spiders get their venom? elifesciences.org/digests/83…
Hey everyone! Here's the link to eLife digest summarising our work on spider venoms :D

Glad to share the full version of our paper in @eLife on the evolution of venoms in spider!

Come see what we do at @LabVenomics. We’ve got lots of fun and games in store for you. It’s a great opportunity to see a diversity of research at @iiscbangalore. Open to one and all.
By comparatively analyzing the venoms of Mygalomorph and Araneomorph spiders, we highlight the lineage-specific recruitment of toxin superfamilies and their contrasting evolutionary diversification strategies.

I am grateful to @anaturalist for providing me the opportunity to work with this fascinating venom system and guiding me all along the way. Thankful to everyone at @LabVenomics and especially to @VivekSuranse and @SLaxme for all the endless debates and discussions.
