Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Genomic differentiation between Anopheles gambiae and Anopheles coluzzii--the major malaria vectors in sub-Saharan Africa--is localized into large "islands" toward the centromeres of chromosome-X and the two autosomes. Linkage disequilibrium between these genomic islands was first detected between species-specific polymorphisms within ribosomal DNA genes (IGS-rDNA) on the X-chromosome and a single...
