A Mini-review of the Genomes and Allergens of Mites and Ticks.

A Mini-review of the Genomes and Allergens of Mites and Ticks. Curr Protein Pept Sci. 2019 Jul 19;: Authors: Xiong Q, Wan ATY, Tsui SK Abstract Mites and ticks are associated with many human diseases including allergic diseases and scabies. With the recent advances in the high throughput DNA sequencing technology, many mitochondrial nuclear genomes of these species have been sequenced and the resulting genomic resources will certainly provide novel insights for the future investigation of the functionally important proteins and peptides in these species. In this mini-review, the current situation of mite and tick genomes were described and the future perspectives for the application of the genomic resources are discussed, in particular the identification and structural analysis of allergens.
