Abstract excerpt
Microsatellites are defined as tracts of tandemly repeated short DNA sequences. Polymorphisms in this class of DNA are currently being used to generate a genetic map of the mosquito Anopheles gambiae. In the present study we explore the potential of microsatellites as a tool for studying the genetic structure of natural populations of this malaria vector. Genetic polymorphism at twenty enzyme coding gene loci and...
