Hi mate

That is exactly the key, we don't know which. In one of the followup papers, we have tested the toxicity of a good sampling and some of them are well into elapid territory (and a couple approaching death adder levels of neurotoxicity!!). SO, its not trivial at all. Nor were we able to predict some of the massive venom yields (like from Telescopus).

We are talking about a couple thousand species here so to go through systematically (as we have started doing on a family level and now on a genus level) will of course take quite a bit of time.

All the best
