Chromosomal localization and copy number of 18s + 28S ribosomal RNA genes in evolutionarily diverse mosquitoes (Diptera, Culicidae)
14 Feb 2008
Abstract excerpt
In situ hybridization using 3H-labeled 18S and 28S ribosomal DNA (rDNA) probes from Aedes albopictus was performed on the mitotic chromosomes of 20 species of mosquitoes belonging to 8 genera of subfamilies Culicinae and Anophelinae. In all but one species examined, the rDNA family was localized to a single chromosome per haploid genome. Aedes triseriatus was the only exception, with the rDNA cistrons present on...
