Draft Genome Assembly of the Sheep Scab Mite, Psoroptes ovis.


ABSTRACT: Sheep scab, caused by infestation with Psoroptes ovis, is highly contagious, results in intense pruritus, and represents a major welfare and economic concern. Here, we report the first draft genome assembly and gene prediction of P. ovis based on PacBio de novo sequencing. The ?63.2-Mb genome encodes 12,041 protein-coding genes.
