Mite Genome Miniaturization: Assembly of the biological control agent Floracarus perrepae reveals dynamic genome evolution in eriophyoid mites
This work sequenced the genome of the biological control eriophyoid mite Floracarus perrepae, which has one of the smallest genomes of any arthropod, and investigates why these mites have such small genomes.
