Variation in recombination rate across the X chromosome of Anopheles gambiae.

Abstract excerpt

The M and S molecular forms of Anopheles gambiae are considered to be incipient species, despite residual gene exchange. Of the three small genome regions that are strongly differentiated between the molecular forms ("speciation islands"), two are located near centromeres, on the left arm of chromosome 2 and the X chromosome. To test the prediction of reduced recombination in these islands, we estimated...
