Relative abundance of the major toxin families in Bothrops venom gland transcriptomes. The abundance of transcripts is expressed as a percentage of the total toxin transcripts and was calculated by diving the number of ESTs of each toxin family by the total number of toxin ESTs reported in each study. The data sources other than B. colombiensis were as follows: B. asper (Pacific) [65], B. atrox [25], B. alternatus [24], B. jararacussu [64], B. insularis [27], and B. jararaca [27]. The percentage of each toxin transcript of individual Bothrops species is shown in the Additional file 3
