Genome of the invasive North American Haemaphysalis longicornis tick as a template for bovine anti-tick vaccine discovery
Single-molecule sequencing of a triploid, parthenogenetic North American Haemaphysalis longicornis tick allowed for the generation of a highly contiguous genome assembly that, when coupled with extensive transcriptome profiling, resulted in a robust gene catalog containing multiple candidates for further study as anti-tick vaccine antigens.
