Localization of Candidate Regions Maintaining a Common Polymorphic Inversion (2La) in Anopheles gambiae
30 Nov 2007
Abstract excerpt
Chromosomal inversion polymorphisms are thought to play a role in adaptive divergence, but the genes conferring adaptive benefits remain elusive. Here we study 2La, a common polymorphic inversion in the African malaria vector Anopheles gambiae. The frequency of 2La varies clinally and seasonally in a pattern suggesting response to selection for aridity tolerance. By hybridizing genomic DNA from individual...
