Assignment of glutamate oxaloacetate transaminase to chromosome 2 and alcohol dehydrogenase to chromosome 3 of Anopheles albimanus

Abstract

The inheritance and linkage group assignments were determined for the two enzyme loci, glutamate oxaloacetate transaminase (Got-I) and alcohol dehydrogenase (Adh-I). of Anopheles albimanus Weidemann. Got-I was assigned to the proximal position on the genetic map of the right arm of chromosome 2, and Adh-I was mapped at the distal position on the map of the right arm of chromosome 3. Gene sequences and linkage estimates are now available for 23 mutant and enzyme loci in A. albimanus.Key words: glutamate oxaloacetate transaminase, alcohol dehydrogenase, isozyme, Anopheles albimanus, genetic map.
