The falling cost of genome sequencing is having a marked impact on the research
community with respect to which genomes are sequenced and how and where they are …

Ticks transmit more pathogens to humans and animals than any other arthropod. We
describe the 2.1 Gbp nuclear genome of the tick, Ixodes scapularis (Say), which vectors …
