Article: New molecular biology study results reported from Colorado State University.

According to a study from the United States, "Chromosomal inversions are prevalent in mosquito species but polytene chromosomes are difficult to prepare and visualize in members of the tribe Aedinii and thus there exists only indirect evidence of inversions. We constructed an F-1 intercross family using a P-1 female from a laboratory strain of Aedes aegypti aegypti (Aaa) and a P-1 male Aedes aegypti formosus (Aaf) from a strain collected from south-eastern Senegal."

"Recombination rates in the F-2 offspring were severely reduced and genotype ratios suggested a deleterious recessive allele on chromosome 3. The F-2 linkage map was incongruent in most respects with ...
