Cross-Species Y Chromosome Function Between Malaria Vectors of the Anopheles gambiae Species Complex
Y chromosome function, structure and evolution is poorly understood in many species, including the Anopheles genus of mosquitoes-an emerging model system for studying speciation that also represents the major vectors of malaria. While the Anopheline Y had previously been implicated in male mating behavior, recent data from the Anopheles gambiae complex suggests that, apart from the putative pri...
متن کاملMosaic Genome Architecture of the Anopheles gambiae Species Complex
BACKGROUND Attempts over the last three decades to reconstruct the phylogenetic history of the Anopheles gambiae species complex have been important for developing better strategies to control malaria transmission. METHODOLOGY We used fingerprint genotyping data from 414 field-collected female mosquitoes at 42 microsatellite loci to infer the evolutionary relationships of four species in the ...
متن کاملDivergence of X Chromosome Heterochromatin amongst Species of the Anopheles Gambiae Complex
data collected confirmed the RNA-Seq results. ChIP-Seq methods are being optimized to identify the direct targets of OpaR. Select targets were confirmed direct targets via in vitro electrophoretic mobility shift assays (EMSA) with purified hexahistidine tagged OpaR. A previously published position specific weighted matrix (PSWM) will be utilized to assist in identification of possible OpaR bind...
متن کاملAnthropogenic Habitat Disturbance and Ecological Divergence between Incipient Species of the Malaria Mosquito Anopheles gambiae
BACKGROUND Anthropogenic habitat disturbance is a prime cause in the current trend of the Earth's reduction in biodiversity. Here we show that the human footprint on the Central African rainforest, which is resulting in deforestation and growth of densely populated urban agglomerates, is associated to ecological divergence and cryptic speciation leading to adaptive radiation within the major ma...
متن کاملSatellite DNA from the Y chromosome of the malaria vector Anopheles gambiae.
Satellite DNA is an enigmatic component of genomic DNA with unclear function that has been regarded as "junk." Yet, persistence of these tandem highly repetitive sequences in heterochromatic regions of most eukaryotic chromosomes attests to their importance in the genome. We explored the Anopheles gambiae genome for the presence of satellite repeats and identified 12 novel satellite DNA familie...
