Aedes aegypti

The Aedes aegypti Liverpool (LVP) strain sequenced for this genome project originated from West Africa and has been maintained at the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine since 1936. It was selected for susceptibility to the filarial worm parasite Brugia malayi, and then subsequently a substrain (LVP^sbm) was selected for greater Brugia susceptibility. Genome sequencing was performed on DNA purified from newly hatched larvae of an LVP^sbm strain which was derived after 12 consecutive generations of single pair inbreeding. This inbred strain has been designated Aedes aegypti LVP^1b12.

Assembly release

The AaegL1 assembly was released by the Broad Institute in August 2005. It consists of 4,758 supercontigs with a total length of 1,384 Mb, this includes 74 Mb of padding characters.

Putative scaffold joins

Aedes scaffolds which are adjacent based on finding multiple Aedes predictions on different scaffolds which map to a single Anopheles prediction.

Physical map data

Genetic and FISH mapping data exist to place the scaffolds onto chromosome arms. A set of high confidence assignments based on the merging of these two sets was generated by Dave Severson lab.

• Set of supercontig assignments to chromosome arms used in the BRC GFF3 files submissions
• Workplan for investigating putative haplotype problems in AaegL1

• BRC-AWG annotation metrics for the Aedes genebuild AaegL1.1
