Chironex yamaguchii is a large cubozoan jellyfish (family Chirodropidae) distributed in coastal waters of the Indo-Pacific including Japan, the Philippines, and Southeast Asia, producing extremely potent venom capable of causing cardiac arrest in humans. Like its close relative C. Research on Chironex genomes contributes to understanding the evolution of lethality and vision in Cubozoa.
