Microsatellite Isolation and Linkage Group Identification in the Yellow Fever Mosquito Aedes aegypti

Abstract excerpt

Microsatellites have proved to be very useful as genetic markers, as they seem to be ubiquitous and randomly distributed throughout most eukaryote genomes. However, our laboratories and others have determined that this paradigm does not necessarily apply to the yellow fever mosquito Aedes aegypti. We report the isolation and identification of microsatellite sequences from multiple genomic libraries for A....
