An improved chromosome-level genome resource for the sheep scab mite, <i>Psoroptes ovis</i>.

Sheep scab, caused by infestation with the ectoparasitic mite, Psoroptes ovis, represents a major welfare and economic challenge for the livestock industry. We present an updated 62.7 Mb genome assembly containing 10 chromosome-level scaffolds with 10,516 annotated protein-coding genes, which provides a useful resource for studies into resistance and control.
