Remarkable diversity of intron-1 of the para voltage-gated sodium channel gene in an Anopheles gambiae/Anopheles coluzzii hybrid zone

BACKGROUND: Genomic differentiation between Anopheles gambiae and Anopheles coluzzii–the major malaria vectors in sub-Saharan Africa–is localized into large “islands” toward the centromeres of chromosome-X and the two autosomes. Linkage disequilibrium between these genomic islands was first detected between species-specific polymorphisms within ribosomal DNA genes (IGS-rDNA) on the X-chromosome and a single variant at position 702 […]

Recombinant protein production: A case study research report

Plasmodium spp. and Leishmania are the causing parasites to malaria and leishmaniasis, two widely spread diseases that are still responsible for millions of cases worldwide every year. The proteins in study, AGAP007752-PA (Anopheles gambiae) and α-tubulin (Plasmodium spp. and Leishmania infantum), are thought to be relevant in decreasing parasite transmission by affecting their life cycles. […]
