A sex‐linked <i>Ace</i> gene, not linked to insensitive acetylcholinesterase‐mediated insecticide resistance in <i>Culex pipiens</i>
1 May 1998
Abstract excerpt
An acetylcholinesterase (AChE) gene, Ace.x, showing 93% identity of deduced amino acid sequence to Anopheles stephensi Ace has been cloned from a Culex pipiens strain homozygous for insensitive AChE (iAChE) mediated insecticide resistance. DNA sequence of genomic DNA clones identified exons 2-5. RFLP of six clones indicated four possible alleles. Linkage analysis located Ace.x to chromosome I, less than 0.8...
