Overrepresented k-mers in <i>I</i>. <i>scapularis</i> tick transcriptome.

<p>Profile of k-mers in transcriptomics data generated from uninfected and <i>A</i>. <i>phagocytophilum</i>-infected <i>I</i>. <i>scapularis</i> nymphs and adult female guts and salivary glands. Overrepresented T-rich (red arrows) and/or G-rich (black arrows) sequences were identified in the central part (nucleotides 10–70 of 100) of all samples. The overall %GC content for the transcriptome in all samples was 48±6. Data shown represents results of two replicates.
