Transcriptomic and phylogenetic analysis of Culex pipiens quinquefasciatus for three detoxification gene families
10 Nov 2012
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The genomes of three major mosquito vectors of human diseases, Anopheles gambiae, Aedes aegypti, and Culex pipiens quinquefasciatus, have been previously sequenced. C. p. quinquefasciatus has the largest number of predicted protein-coding genes, which partially results from the expansion of three detoxification gene families: cytochrome P450 monooxygenases (P450), glutathione S-transferases (GST), and...
