A chromosomal reference genome sequence for the malaria mosquito, Anopheles maculipalpis, Giles, 1902

Abstract

We present a genome assembly from an individual female Anopheles maculipalpis (the malaria mosquito; Arthropoda; Insecta; Diptera; Culicidae). The genome sequence is 224 megabases in span. Most of the assembly is scaffolded into three chromosomal pseudomolecules with the X sex chromosome assembled. The complete mitochondrial genome was also assembled and is 15.4 kilobases in length.
