New sequencing technique to prod medical benefits from killer venom

Any given venom can contain hundreds of toxins with different functions, but teasing them out of a venom sample is no mean feat. Researchers at Rockefeller University have developed a method of protein sequencing that can speed up the decoding of these toxins by orders of magnitude, raising the prospect that they will be able to test a great many of these molecules for their medical potential.
