Draft genome assembly of the poultry red mite, dermanyssus gallinae

Microbiology Resource Announcements, Volume 7, No. 18, Article e0122118, Year 2018

The poultry red mite, Dermanyssus gallinae, is a major worldwide concern in the egg-laying industry. Here, we report the first draft genome assembly and gene prediction of Dermanyssus gallinae, based on combined PacBio and MinION long-read de novo sequencing. The ∼959-Mb genome is predicted to encode 14,608 protein-coding genes.
