Discovery and characterization of chromosomal inversions in the arboviral vector mosquito Aedes aegypti
2024-02-18
Abstract excerpt
Chromosomal inversions play a fundamental role in evolution and have been shown to regulate epidemiologically important traits in malaria mosquitoes. However, they have never been characterized in Aedes aegypti, the major vector of arboviruses, because of the poor structure of its polytene chromosomes. In this study, we applied a Hi-C proximity ligation approach to identify chromosomal inversions in 25 strains of...
