Gene Discovery in Boophilus microplus, the Cattle Tick: The Transcriptomes of Ovaries, Salivary Glands, and Hemocytes
1 Oct 2004
Abstract excerpt
The quest for new control strategies for ticks can profit from high throughput genomics. In order to identify genes that are involved in oogenesis and development, in defense, and in hematophagy, the transcriptomes of ovaries, hemocytes, and salivary glands from rapidly ingurgitating females, and of salivary glands from males of Boophilus microplus were PCR amplified, and the expressed sequence tags (EST) of...
