A high-quality Ixodes scapularis genome advances tick science

Nature Genetics (2023)

Abstract

Ixodes spp. and related ticks transmit prevalent infections, although knowledge of their biology and development of anti-tick measures have been hindered by the lack of a high-quality genome. In the present study, we present the assembly of a 2.23-Gb Ixodes scapularis genome by sequencing two haplotypes within one individual, complemented by chromosome-level scaffolding and full-length RNA isoform sequencing, yielding a fully reannotated genome featuring thousands of new protein-coding genes and various RNA species. Analyses of the repetitive DNA identified transposable elements, whereas the examination of tick-associated bacterial sequences yielded an improved Rickettsia buchneri genome. We demonstrate how the Ixodes genome advances tick science by contributing to new annotations, gene models and epigenetic functions, expansion of gene families, development of in-depth proteome catalogs and deciphering of genetic variations in wild ticks. Overall, we report critical genetic resources and biological insights impacting our understanding of tick biology and future interventions against tick-transmitted infections.

**Comment**

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but this sudden concern about tick genomes is all due to the mad gold-rush on mRNA products that are the new popular trend every researcher vying for government grants is seeking today, including industry, governmental, and educational institution tick researchers. You see, by doing innocuous-seeming research on genomes. genetically altered organisms (GMOs), and “climate change,” – they can continue to get paid and keep their labs running like a well-oiled machines, despite the very real impact on the environment – including humans.  After all, researchers are smart people and clearly understand that if you study things like contaminants in vaccines, your lab gets shut down and your position gets terminated.  Doctors are told to “zip it” regarding vaccine injury or their licenses are suspended. You essentially get “Wakefielded,” and life as you know it changes forever.

Few people are willing to swallow that red pill.

It’s far easier to just give The Cabal what they want and refrain from making any waves.

This is why ZERO transmission studies regarding Lyme/MSIDS have been done in decades.  It’s why mainstream research will never admit in a million years that Lyme/MSIDS is persistent. They simply don’t want that Pandora’s box opened or even questioned.  Better to continue using nearly 40 year old research showing the potential of transmission but declaring it doesn’t exist due to some arbitrary cut-off made for a pre-determined outcome.

Our corrupt public health agencies have been declaring things for a long time.

Despite the absolute flop of the COVID mRNA gene–therapy injections, the massive numbers of sudden deaths (SADS), heart issues, and other life-altering adverse reactions, the mRNA platform is being forced down our throats, like it or not, – despite experts warning, indeed shouting, that it is unstable, untested and unsafe.  It doesn’t even work well, but The Cabal simply changes definitions, manipulates thresholds, waives normal testing requirements, hides and recategorizes data, and then rubber stamps approval.

Hey, when you’re in charge, you can seemingly do whatever you want.

As tick-borne Lyme disease continues to spread in Pennsylvania and other Chesapeake Bay drainage states, a new study suggests more use of prescribed burns on public and private forests could help reduce both the numbers of ticks and incidence of the disease.

In a paper published in Ecological Applications, researchers from Penn State, the U.S. Forest Service and New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection said the increased use of prescribed fire by forest managers to control invasive plants, improve wildlife habitat and restore ecosystem health can also help knock down the tick problem.  (See link for article)

    FAA Helping Airlines Cover up COVID Shot Injuries & Wealthy Requiring Unvaxxed Crew to Fly Their Jets

    January 20, 2023

    **UPDATE**

    Now the FAA is considering unprecedented ‘drastic measures’ including preventing carriers from adding new routes, after a flurry of safety incidents.  United has endured multiple headline-grabbing mishaps including:

    • A plane in Houston ran off the taxiway into a grassy area
    • Another aircraft lost a tire shortly after departing from San Francisco
    • A Houston-to-Florida flight had to make an emergency landing after one of its engines began spewing flames.

    The EKG and the FAA

    Dr. Jane Ruby

    1/18/23

    The airlines are trying to avoid trillions of dollars in lawsuits coming when pilots figure out they have been duped into cardiac damage, and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is trying to assist in the cover-up by loosening the cut off for cardiac damage in medical clearance for aviation. Dr. Jane explains how the EKG test plays into these crimes.

    The full Dr. Jane Ruby Show: “THE EKG AND THE FAA”:
    Go here to read Steve Kirsch’s newsletter: “The FAA Has Very Quietly Tacitly Admitted That the EKGs of Pilots Are No Longer Normal.  We Should Be Concerned.  Very Concerned.”
    After the vaccine rolled out, the FAA secretly widened the EKG parameter range for pilots so they wouldn’t be grounded. It looks like the vax gave at least 50M Americans heart damage.

    Wealthy Elite Now ‘Requiring’ Unvaccinated Crew to Fly Their Jets Says Pilot

    1/14/23

    Former Jetstar pilot Alan Dana claims the wealthy are seeking out unvaccinated pilots to fly their private jets. Dana said Josh Yoder, the head the U.S. Freedom Flyers, an anti-vaccine mandate group of pilots, is receiving inquiries from elites interested in hiring unvaccinated pilots to fly their business trips.

    “He’s getting calls now from wealthy businessmen and companies to fly their executives around on business jets with unvaccinated crew,” Dana said “They get the luxury of being able to choose, because there are still a large amount of crew available in the United States who are not vaccinated because the companies they work for didn’t mandate it.” “These wealthy businessmen are requiring unvaccinated crew on their business trips,” Dana added.

    “Passengers on an airline who bought a ticket don’t have that luxury.”

    Dana, a former pilot for JetStar, a Singapore-based airline, noted that such inquiries haven’t been coming in as much to Australia’s Freedom Flyers chapter because it hasn’t been around as long and isn’t as “well-connected.” Nearly all major airlines in the U.S. mandated the COVID vaccine for pilots and crew in 2021, leading dissenting pilots to form the U.S. Freedom Flyers.

    Medical Board Charges Dr. Ryan Cole For ‘Misinformation’

    Washington medical board charges Dr. Ryan Cole with COVID-19 related violations

    The board gives Cole until the end of the month to respond
    BY: – JANUARY 18, 2023 

    Dr. Ryan Cole of Idaho has until Jan. 30 to respond to charges from the Washington Medical Commission that he violated standards related to COVID-19 and patient care.

    Cole, a pathologist whose specialty does not involve direct patient-care experience, has maintained that he didn’t violate any standards while treating patients for COVID-19 via telehealth.

    The statement of charges from the Washington Medical Commission says otherwise.  (See link for article)

    Speaking of doctors speaking out, go here to listen to 18 minutes of doctor after doctor from the UK and internationally speaking against the COVID shots.

    **Comment**

    Similarly to Lyme literate doctors who defy the accepted narrative of Lyme/MSIDS, ‘the powers that be’ must make an example out of Dr. Ryan Cole, (and others) for being outspoken critics of all things COVID. Despite being a highly trained and respected pathologist entitled to own opinions, dissenters must not be allowed in the upside down world of COVID.  The medical board has been hounding him for over a year due to Cole’s public responses.

    “This has been purely Good Samaritan care for patients desperate for help that was not being offered elsewhere,” he wrote in a letter to the Washington Medical Commission last year. “… I provided free medical care out of a real attempt to help those in need.” ~ Dr. Ryan Cole

    Well now, free medical care is certainly going to ruffle those in the medical industry who are attempting to monopolize medicine at the expense of patient health.  They’ve successfully done it in Lymeland for 40 years.

    After Seeing Significant “Safety” Signal for Strokes, CDC & FDA Rely on Their Data Fixers to Lose the Signal

    Remember, I told you not to expect anything to come out of the CDC and FDA admitting an early “safety” signal of clot shots and strokes.  Well, I hate to say I was right:

    https://popularrationalism.substack.com/p/about-that-cdc-stroke-safety-signal

    About That CDC Stroke “Safety” Signal We All Detected Last Year: America Suffered the Cost of Vaccine Risk, Injury & Death Denialism.

    First of all, it’s a signal of risk, not safety. Second, we detected the signal over a year ago, long before the CDC. They appear now to have lost the signal. How many strokes could have been averted?

    James Lyons-Weiler

    This is a compendium of useful resources – evidence – that proves that the signal of stroke was present early on and persisted through the process to “pharmacovigilance”.

    May 2021

    Dr. Gregory Michael

    From Seneff et al (May, 2021): “Dr. Gregory Michael, an obstetrician in Miami Beach, died of a cerebral hemorrhage 16 days after receiving the first dose of the Pfizer/BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine. Within three days of the vaccine, he developed idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP), an autoimmune disorder in which the immune cells attack and destroy the platelets. His platelet count dropped precipitously, and this caused an inability to stop internal bleeding, leading to the stroke, as described in an article in the New York Times (Grady and Mazzei, 2021). The New York Times followed up with a second article that discussed several other cases of ITP following SARS-CoV-2 vaccination (Grady, 2021), and several other incidences of precipitous drop of platelets and thrombocytopenia following SARSCoV-2 vaccination have been reported in the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS).”

    “These vaccines can also trigger seizures, strokes, and even neuropsychiatric disorders. Keep in mind that in some cases these disorders do not appear for years or even decades. Dr. Peter McCullough, a professor of internal medicine and cardiology, cited a case in which a woman lost all memory after receiving the first vaccine dose.[26] He also told of a fully vaccinated woman who lost her baby after breastfeeding. The child died of a thrombotic/hemorrhagic episode.”

    A comment on Steve Kirsch’s newsletter, Dec, 2021:

    “Ancedotally (sic), I was in the ER a couple of weeks ago. Hospital beds in the area were full of stroke, heart attack, and clotting patients. This nurse offered this when I asked. I was, under protest, being worked up for heart attack and clotting because I casually mentioned chest pain in a telehealth appointment. I had a cold. I tried to walk it back and they wouldn’t let me. D-dimer, ekg, traponin (sic) test. I am 41, low bmi, exercise 5 times a week, take no medications, no history of heart issues. I was like, uh, you guys seeing a lot of heart attacks? They were like, OMG SO MANY. And strokes too, and blood clots. They just the last two, I did not prompy(sic) them.”

    (See link for article)

    **Comment**

    Weiler’s Substack presents example after example of blood clots, hemorrhages, strokes, heart attacks, pathogenic priming, deep vein thrombosis, myocardial infarctions, pulmonary embolisms, and deaths.  Further, a postmortem study of patients “vaccinated” for COVID in Colombia showed that nearly 60% of deaths were classified as sudden cardiac death. 

    “Despite the author’s claim of “no association,” its my interpretation of the data that 78% of the deaths could be directly attributed to a known mechanism of COVID-19 vaccination. This is very consistent with the recent report from Schwab et al from Germany whose data revealed 71% of deaths within 20 days of vaccination occurred in the context of acute problems known to be caused by the vaccines….when autopsies done by separate teams in different countries arrive at similar findings, we have external consistency.”  ~ Dr. Peter McCullough

    But, the CDC and FDA suddenly find no increased risk of strokes for the elderly who got the Pfizer bivalent booster, just like the DOD didn’t find a massive increase in sickness and injury diagnoses in 2021 over previous years, particularly in the neurological, cardiovascular, oncological, and reproductive health categories, after whistleblowers came forward.  Why’s this, you ask?  They simply “recalibrated” their health surveillance data to make it all disappear, kind of like when the CDC ‘disappeared’ nearly 13,000 VAERS reports, and kind of like when the FAA helped airlines cover up “vaccine” injuries by loosening the cut-off for cardiac damage in medical clearance for aviation.
