Use of a restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) as a genetic marker in crosses of Anopheles gambiae (Diptera: Culicidae): independent assortment of a diphenol oxidase RFLP and an esterase locus.

Abstract excerpt

Analysis of restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) is a powerful tool for analyzing linkage relationships in species where few genetic markers have been described and where conduct of crosses is difficult. It also permits integration of genetic and physical (cytogenetic) data when the probes have been mapped by in situ hybridization. To illustrate the utility of the method, and because some mutations of...
