Genome Assemblies of 19 Tick Species in China
Currently, among the tick species distributed in China, only six have genome assemblies, which were included in our previous study. Many tick species lack genomic information. To bridge this gap, we pooled samples of each tick species collected from various sites for nanopore sequencing. Through de novo assembly, we successfully generated draft genomes for 19 tick species, with 13 of these genomes being newly sequenced, significantly expanding the available genomic resources available for ticks.
