The repetitive genome of the <i>Ixodes ricinus</i> tick reveals transposable elements have driven genome evolution in ticks

2024-03-14

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Ticks are obligate blood-feeding parasites associated with a huge diversity of diseases globally. The hard tick Ixodes ricinus is the key vector of Lyme borreliosis and tick-borne encephalitis in Western Eurasia. Ixodes ticks have large and repetitive genomes that are not yet well characterized. Here we generate two high-quality I . ricinus genome assemblies, with haploid genome sizes of app...
