OBPs and CSPs identified in the antennae of An. gambiae by shot-gun analysis.

In several cases, entries with the same or similar names refer to very similar sequences, likely originated from different strains of mosquitoes. In the leader protein column we report the name of the sequence with the highest coverage, as reported in the SwissProt database. OBP9 was also identified as the only olfactory protein in eggs, on the basis of two peptides with a coverage of 25.9%. Unique peptides are those characteristic of each sequence. F: females, M: males.(*)in Swissprot or genome for leader protein (and other proteins in the group).(**)Total sequence coverage was calculated on the basis of the sum peptides identified in males and females.
