Abstract excerpt
Anopheles gambiae, the primary vector of human malaria in Africa, is responsible for approximately a million deaths per year, mostly of children. Despite its significance in disease transmission, this mosquito has not been studied extensively by genetic or molecular techniques. To facilitate studies on this vector, a genetic map has been developed that covers the X chromosome at an average resolution of 2...
