An Integrated Linkage, Chromosome, and Genome Map for the Yellow Fever Mosquito Aedes aegypti
14 Feb 2013
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Aedes aegypti, the yellow fever mosquito, is an efficient vector of arboviruses and a convenient model system for laboratory research. Extensive linkage mapping of morphological and molecular markers localized a number of quantitative trait loci (QTLs) related to the mosquito's ability to transmit various pathogens. However, linking the QTLs to Ae. aegypti chromosomes and genomic sequences has been...
