title: Whole genome sequence of Ixodes sp. cf. tasmani voucher: B8986
design: Genomic DNA (gDNA) was extracted ethanol preserved voucher after allowing the ethanol to evaporate, using the Monarch Genomic DNA Purification Kit (New England Biolabs, Melbourne, Australia). The gDNA was used for next-generation sequencing (NGS) on the Illumina NovaSeq 6000 platform, generating 150 bp paired-end reads (Novogene, Singapore).
