Comparative Genome Analysis of the Yellow Fever Mosquito Aedes aegypti with Drosophila melanogaster and the Malaria Vector Mosquito Anopheles gambiae
1 Mar 2004
Abstract excerpt
An in silico comparative genomics approach was used to identify putative orthologs to genetically mapped genes from the mosquito, Aedes aegypti, in the Drosophila melanogaster and Anopheles gambiae genome databases. Comparative chromosome positions of 73 D. melanogaster orthologs indicated significant deviations from a random distribution across each of the five A. aegypti chromosomal regions, suggesting that...
