Hunt RH: Location of genes on chromosome arms in the Anopheles gambiae group of species and their correlation to linkage data for other anopheline mosquitoes. Med Vet Entomol. 1987 Jan;1(1):81-8.
The use of paracentric inversions as genetic markers in the Anopheles gambiae group of mosquitoes is described. The gene for dieldrin resistance is assigned to chromosome 2 which in turn is correlated to the previous assignment of the gene to linkage group II. The locus of the enzyme phosphoglucomutase 2 (Pgm 2) is similarly assigned to chromosome 2 and evidence is presented for possible linkage between Pgm 2 and dieldrin resistance. There was no linkage or correlation of chromosome 2 and loci of the enzymes superoxide dismutase (Sod) and octanol dehydrogenase (Odh). These genes are therefore assumed to be on chromosome 3 (linkage group III). Evidence that such gene linkage group/chromosome correlations may extend to other species for which chromosome maps and homologies have been worked out is discussed. |
