title: RNA-Seq of ticks: mix2
design: Total RNA was extracted from pooled whole ticks (Hyalomma asiaticum) collected in Zhambyl region, Kazakhstan (coordinates: 42.910278 N 72.705833 E). cDNA libraries were prepared without targeted enrichment to capture the metatranscriptome, including viral, bacterial, and host transcripts. Sequencing was performed as single-end reads on the Ion Torrent S5 platform. The dataset includes reads mapping to Bole tick virus 3 and other tick-associated taxa.
