Description of files in repository: 1. Arcadia_Amblyomma_americanum_asm001.fasta Unphased diploid genome assembly; output of Flye assembler created from PacBio HiFi reads generated by sequencing 50 individual female Amblyomma americanum ticks (this file not deposited at NCBI/Genbank). This file was used as input for Purge_Dups. 2. Arcadia_Amblyomma_americanum_asm001_hap.fasta Output of Purge_Dups; haplotig collection (this file not deposited at NCBI/Genbank) 3. Arcadia_Amblyomma_americanum_asm001_purged.fasta Output of Purge_Dups; purged pseudo-haploid assembly (pre-cleanup scripts; a version of this file was submitted to NCBI/Genbank)
