Draft genome assembly of the poultry red mite, Dermanyssus gallinae.

Here, we report the first draft genome assembly and gene prediction of Dermanyssus gallinae, based on combined PacBio and MinION long-read de novo sequencing. The 959-Mb genome is predicted to encode 14,608 protein-coding genes.en© 2018 Burgess et al.
