title: RNAseq of Ornithodoros turicata: fed female
design: Whole tick was extracted nine days post-blood feeding to repletion on an artificial feeding system using defibrinated pig blood. RNA was isolated using Direct-Zol Miniprep Plus kit (Zymo). PolyA RNA was selected using NEXTFLEX Poly(A) Beads 2.0. The polyA selected RNA was sequenced on an Illumina NovaSeq 6000 using the Perkin Elmer NEXTFLEX Rapid Directional RNA-seq kit 2.0.
