Figure 1From: Ixodes scapularis tick ser ine p roteinase in hibitor (serpin) gene family; annotation and transcriptional analysisFlow chart of the strategy used to annotate Ixodes scapularis serpins. The FASTA3 version 3.4 software [41] was used to perform a local BLASTX search of the local database of supercontigs of the I. scapularis genome sequence data using tick serpin downloads from GeneBank as queries.Back to article page
