Improved <i>Aedes aegypti</i> mosquito reference genome assembly enables biological discovery and vector control

2017-12-29

Abstract excerpt

Female Aedes aegypti mosquitoes infect hundreds of millions of people each year with dangerous viral pathogens including dengue, yellow fever, Zika, and chikungunya. Progress in understanding the biology of this insect, and developing tools to fight it, has been slowed by the lack of a high-quality genome assembly. Here we combine diverse genome technologies to produce AaegL5, a dramatically improved and annotate...
