Annotation from assembly GCA_003426905.1, project QVAO01 and TSA GAYP02

115 sequences, including 5 pseudogenes. A number of genes are duplicated and this is indicated with a,b suffixes to the gene number. 103 sequences are on chromosomal scaffolds, and 12 are on smaller scaffolds (see Driscoll et al., 2020 for a description of this peculiar genome). The CYPome of the cat flea is described in [[https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S266651582200004X| Feyereisen (2022)]], including a {{ :feyereisen2022_supplfile.pdf |list}} of pseudogenes and partial gene fragments.
