Sequencing of Culex quinquefasciatus Establishes a Platform for Mosquito Comparative Genomics

Peter Arensburger, +81 more
- 01 Oct 2010 - 
TL;DR: The genomic sequence of C. quinquefasciatus is described, which reveals distinctions related to vector capacities and habitat preferences, and confirmed that inoculation with unfamiliar bacteria prompted strong immune responses in Culex.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genomic insights into the Ixodes scapularis tick vector of Lyme disease

Monika Gulia-Nuss, +124 more
TL;DR: Insights from genome analyses into parasitic processes unique to ticks, including host ‘questing', prolonged feeding, cuticle synthesis, blood meal concentration, novel methods of haemoglobin digestion, haem detoxification, vitellogenesis and prolonged off-host survival are reported.
Journal ArticleDOI

Actionable exomic incidental findings in 6503 participants: challenges of variant classification

Laura M. Amendola, +83 more
- 01 Mar 2015 - 
TL;DR: A refined estimate of the burden of adult onset, medically actionable incidental findings expected from exome sequencing is provided, challenges in variant classification are highlighted, and the need for a better curated variant interpretation knowledge base is demonstrated.
