Sequencing 1206 genomes reveals origin and movement of Aedes aegypti driving increased dengue risk

This study sequenced 1,206 Aedes aegypti genomes to trace the origin and global spread of the species, revealing its evolution from a forest-dwelling to an urban, human-biting form and its impact on dengue risk.

Genome variation and population structure among 1,142 mosquitoes of the African malaria vector species Anopheles gambiae and Anopheles coluzzii

The paper analyzes genome variation in 1,142 Anopheles mosquitoes to study population structure and insecticide resistance.

Improved Aedes aegypti mosquito reference genome assembly enables biological discovery and vector control

The paper presents an improved Aedes aegypti genome assembly, AaegL5, which enhances biological understanding and vector control efforts by resolving key genomic features and identifying new targets for intervention.

Highly efficient site-specific mutagenesis in Malaria mosquitoes using CRISPR

This study demonstrates efficient CRISPR/Cas9-mediated mutagenesis in malaria mosquitoes to enable reverse genetic analysis.

Natural diversity of the malaria vector Anopheles gambiae

The paper sequences genomes of 765 malaria vector mosquitoes to study genetic diversity and insecticide resistance.
