Abstract
The false spider mite Brevipalpus yothersi infests a broad host plant
range and has become one of the most economically important species within the
genus Brevipalpus. This phytophagous mite inflicts damage by both feeding on
plants and transmitting plant viruses. Here, we report the first draft genome sequence
of the false spider mite, which is also the first plant virus mite vector to be
sequenced. The 72 Mb genome (sequenced at 42 coverage) encodes 16,000
predicted protein-coding genes.
