Mosquito species

  1. Go to Ensembl Metazoa. How many genomes relating to the genus Anopheles are there in Ensembl Metazoa?

  2. When was the current Anopheles gambiae genome assembly last revised?

  1. Go to metazoa.ensembl.org. Open the drop-down list or click on View full list of all Ensembl Metazoa species. In a latin binomial species name, the first word represents the genus. Type Anopheles into the filter box in the top left to find all genomes with this word in the binomial.

    There are 22 Anopheles genomes (some species are represented by more than one genome).

  2. Click on Anopheles gambiae (African malaria mosquito, PEST), and then on More information and statistics.

    The assembly hosted is AgamP4 (INSDC Assembly GCA_000005575.1) which was revised in Feb 2006.
