Scientists have successfully mapped the complete chromosome-level genome of the king ratsnake, a nonvenomous species known for preying on deadly snakes like cobras and vipers. The genetic mapping is expected to help researchers understand the biological mechanisms behind the snake's natural resistance to venom. The findings could shed light on broader patterns of snake evolution and venom adaptation. Researchers also hope the study will support the development of more effective antivenom therapies in the future.
