This study identifies a bacterial gene, anmK, horizontally transferred to ticks, which integrates into tick biology and supports reproductive fitness.

The paper presents genome sequences of four Ixodes species, revealing gene family amplifications and evolutionary patterns in ticks.

The paper presents a high-quality genome assembly of Plasmopara viticola, identifying genes under positive selection that may contribute to host adaptation.

The paper analyzes the whole-body transcriptome of Ixodes ricinus ticks to study gene expression changes during feeding and compares genetic variation between wild and lab strains.
