Abstract
We present a draft sequence of the genome of
Aedes aegypti
, the primary vector for yellow fever and dengue fever, which at ∼1376 million base pairs is about 5 times the size of the genome of the malaria vector
Anopheles gambiae
. Nearly 50% of the
Ae. aegypti
genome consists of transposable elements. These contribute to a factor of ∼4 to 6 increase in average gene length and in sizes of intergenic regions relative to
An. gambiae
and
Drosophila melanogaster
. Nonetheless, chromosomal synteny is generally maintained among all three insects, although conservation of orthologous gene order is higher (by a factor of ∼2) between the mosquito species than between either of them and the fruit fly. An increase in genes encoding odorant binding, cytochrome P450, and cuticle domains relative to
An. gambiae
suggests that members of these protein families underpin some of the biological differences between the two mosquito species.
