Draft genome assembly of the sheep scab mite, Psoroptes ovis

Genome Announcements, Volume 6, No. 16, Article e00265-18, Year 2018

Sheep scab, caused by infestation with Psoroptes ovis, is highly contagious, results in intense pruritus, and represents a major welfare and economic concern. Here, we report the first draft genome assembly and gene prediction of P. ovis based on PacBio de novo sequencing. The ~63.2-Mb genome encodes 12,041 protein-coding genes.
