Project description:The genome of two isogenic lines from Aedes aegypti from Ile Royale, French Guiana, with a marked difference in resistance to deltamethrin was investigated in order to understand the genetic basis of this phenotypic difference. Genomic sequencing was performed both with Illumina short, paired reads and with Minion long reads.
Project description:Investigation of whole genome gene expression level changes of testes in the meiotic drive system in aedes aegypti during spermatogenesis compared to non drive strain. The meiotic drive system in Aedes aegypti causes the female determining chromosome to fragment during spermatogenesis.
