TL;DR: A draft sequence of the genome of Aedes aegypti, the primary vector for yellow fever and dengue fever, which at approximately 1376 million base pairs is about 5 times the size of the genomes of the malaria vector Anopheles gambiae was presented in this paper.

TL;DR: This report describes how VectorBase initiated a community annotation system, a microarray and gene expression repository and controlled vocabularies for anatomy and insecticide resistance, and continued to develop both the software infrastructure and tools for interrogating the stored data.

TL;DR: VectorBase annotates and maintains vector genomes providing an integrated resource for the research community, and contains genome information for two organisms: Anopheles gambiae and Aedes aegypti.

TL;DR: An increase in genes encoding odorant binding, cytochrome P450, and cuticle domains relative to An.

TL;DR: VectorBase, an integrated, relational database that manages genomic and other genetic/biological data pertaining to arthropod vectors of disease, has recently embarked on the construction of ontologies and controlled vocabularies.
