Background: Snakes are one of the most important wildlife resources and are widely distributed. Bungarus multicinctus is a highly venomous snake and is distributed in central and southern China. In recent years, venomous snake bites have gradually increased. Genomic resources are significant for understanding the evolution of a specie and the molecular mechanisms of toxin production.
