Standing genetic variation and chromosome differences drove rapid ecotype formation in a major malaria vector

S. T. Small, C. Costantini, N. Sagnon, M. W. Guelbeogo, S. J. Emrich, A. D. Kern, M. C. Fontaine, N. J. Besansky

The paper uses whole-genome sequencing to show that standing genetic variation and chromosomal differences drove rapid ecotype formation in Anopheles funestus, a malaria vector, adapting to different habitats.

Fine-mapping complex inversion breakpoints and investigating somatic pairing in the Anopheles gambiae species complex using proximity-ligation sequencing

R. B. Corbett-Detig, I. Said, M. Calzetta, M. Genetti, J. Mcbroome, N. W. Maurer, V. Petrarca, A. della Torre, N. J. Besansky

The paper fine-maps inversion breakpoints in Anopheles gambiae species complex using Hi-C sequencing and investigates somatic pairing disruption near these breakpoints.

Assessing connectivity despite high diversity in island populations of a malaria mosquito

C. M. Bergey, M. Lukindu, R. M. Wiltshire, M. C. Fontaine, J. K. Kayondo, N. J. Besansky

The paper assesses connectivity in Anopheles gambiae populations on Lake Victoria islands, finding one island as genetically differentiated as continental populations, suggesting it could be a suitable site for malaria eradication field-testing.
