Ixodes ricinus
Ticks (Ixodes ricinus) from a lab strain (Neuchâtel, Switzerland), reared since 1980, were used for this expression study. Salivary glands of 5 partially fed individuals were collected (4 days after deposit on the host). This is the replicate 2 out of 3 biological replicates of the D4_N_SG condition. Librairies were prepared using the NEBNext Ultra RNA Library Prep Kit for Illumina and were sequenced on Novaseq S4 PE150 using the NovaSeq 6000 S4 Reagent Kit.
