The infrequently-feeding Burmese python (Python bivittatus) experiences significant and rapid postprandial cardiac hypertrophy followed by regression as digestion is completed. The genome assembly and transcriptome of the Burmese python allows researchers to explore the molecular mechanisms of this response. The Burmese python genome is also More...a useful aid to the study of limb development and body segmentation. The Burmese python is sometimes classified as a subspecies of the Indian python Python molurus. Less...
