Abstract

The poultry red mite, <i>Dermanyssus gallinae</i>, is a major worldwide concern in the egg-laying industry. Here, we report the first draft genome assembly and gene prediction of <i>Dermanyssus gallinae</i>, based on combined PacBio and MinION long-read <i>de novo</i> sequencing. The ∼959-Mb genome is predicted to encode 14,608 protein-coding genes.
