title: RNA-Seq of Aedes communis mosquitoes and their parasitic mites (Mideopsis sp.)
design: Samples were homogenized in pools of 10 mosquitoes or 20 mites, using ZR BashingBead 0.1mm. Total RNA was extracted from the homogenates using the ZymoBIOMICS DNA/RNA Miniprep Kit. Ribosomal RNA (rRNA) depleted RNA was extracted from each sample using the Ribo-Zero Gold kit. Whole-transcriptome libraries were constructed using DNA nanoball technology (paired-end sequencing) on a DNBseq platform
