The Genome Sequence of the Malaria Mosquito Anopheles gambiae

Robert A. Holt, +126 more
- 04 Oct 2002 - 
TL;DR: Analysis of the PEST strain of A. gambiae revealed strong evidence for about 14,000 protein-encoding transcripts, and prominent expansions in specific families of proteins likely involved in cell adhesion and immunity were noted.
Journal ArticleDOI

Chromosomal differentiation and adaptation to human environments in the Anopheles gambiae complex

TL;DR: Parallel indoor-/outdoor collections of samples from polymorphic populations of arabiensis and gambiae show that adult mosquitoes carrying certain inversion karyotypes do not distribute at random in relation to the human environment, being significantly more frequent in outdoor than in indoor samples, or vice-versa.
Journal ArticleDOI

A Polytene Chromosome Analysis of the Anopheles gambiae Species Complex

TL;DR: In this paper, field-collected specimens of all known taxa in the Anopheles gambiae complex were analyzed on the basis of chromosome inversions with reference to a standard polytene chromosome map.
Journal ArticleDOI

Chromosomal inversion intergradation and incipient speciation in Anopheles gambiae

TL;DR: Polytene chromosome studies on the Afrotropical mosquitoes of the Anopheles gambiae complex show that the rearrangements of the banding pattern are all based on paracentric inversions, probably one of the most primitive in the complex.
