Analysis of genes that regulate the development of tissues of vector importance.

The number of mosquito orthologs of genes related to salivary gland and olfactory system development, as well as cuticle components are indicated for the three mosquito species examined in this study. Numbers refer to the number of orthologous sequences present in the three mosquito genomes for each D. melanogaster gene indicated at left. Results are reported only for cases in which the number of orthologous sequences varies between D. melanogaster and at least one of the mosquito species. Although the genes are generally well conserved, changes in the number of orthologous sequences for several D. melanogaster genes implicated in these processes were observed in mosquitoes.本研究针对三种受试蚊虫展开分析，现将与唾液腺、嗅觉系统发育及表皮成分相关的基因在蚊虫中的直系同源基因（ortholog）数量列示如下。此处的数值代表左侧标注的每一个黑腹果蝇（Drosophila melanogaster）基因，在三种蚊虫基因组中所存在的直系同源序列数目。仅当黑腹果蝇与至少一种受试蚊虫的直系同源序列数目存在差异时，才会报告相关结果。尽管上述基因整体保守性良好，但本研究在受试蚊虫中仍观察到，若干参与上述过程的黑腹果蝇基因的直系同源序列数目发生了变化。
