An integrated genetic map of the African human malaria vector mosquito, Anopheles gambiae.
We present a genetic map based on microsatellite polymorphisms for the African human malaria vector, Anopheles gambiae. Polymorphisms in laboratory strains were detected for 89% of the tested microsatellite markers. Genotyping was performed for individual mosquitos from 13 backcross families that included 679 progeny. Three linkage groups were identified, corresponding to the three chromosomes....
متن کاملViral Paratransgenesis in the Malaria Vector Anopheles gambiae
Paratransgenesis, the genetic manipulation of insect symbiotic microorganisms, is being considered as a potential method to control vector-borne diseases such as malaria. The feasibility of paratransgenic malaria control has been hampered by the lack of candidate symbiotic microorganisms for the major vector Anopheles gambiae. In other systems, densonucleosis viruses (DNVs) are attractive agent...
متن کاملAnopheles gambiae genome: completing the malaria triad.
T he genome sequence of Anopheles gambiae, the major mosquito vector of the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum, as well as analyses of its gene content and organization , are reported by several teams of investigators in this issue.* In addition, the sequence of the P. falciparum genome appears in this week's issue of Nature. The genomes of these two organisms, along with that of the human,...
متن کاملAn integrated genetic and physical map for the malaria vector Anopheles funestus.
We have constructed a genetic map of the major African malaria vector, Anopheles funestus, using genetic markers segregating in F(2) progeny from crosses between two strains colonized from different field sites. Genotyping was performed on 174 progeny from three families using 33 microsatellite markers, a single RFLP, and 15 single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) loci. Four linkage groups were re...
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...
