About the Project
The Cimex lectularius genome sequence and its analysis has been published in Nature Communications, "Unique features of a global human ectoparasite identified through sequencing of the bed bug genome."
We at the BCM-HGSC would like to thank the many members of the Cimex community whose hard work has made this a successful project.
