| identification and phylogeny of arabian snakes: comparison of venom chromatographic profiles versus 16s rrna gene sequences. | identification of snake species is important for various reasons including the emergency treatment of snake bite victims. we present a simple method for identification of six snake species using the gel filtration chromatographic profiles of their venoms. the venoms of echis coloratus, echis pyramidum, cerastes gasperettii, bitis arietans, naja arabica, and walterinnesia aegyptia were milked, lyophilized, diluted and centrifuged to separate the mucus from the venom. the clear supernatants were f ... | 2014 | 25313278 |
