Genetic markers offer new clues about how malaria mosquitoes evade eradication

Monday, October 25, 2010 - 13:40 in Biology & Nature

An international team of researchers reports the development and first use of a high-resolution microarray that features 400,000 genetic markers for the malaria mosquito, Anopheles gambiae, providing a vastly clearer picture of how the insect adapts to human interventions. The SNP array offers a powerful new tool to international efforts to eradicate the disease-carrying mosquito.
