Genomic dark matter illuminated: Anopheles Y chromosomes

Seth N. Redmond, Daniel E. Neafsey

Research output: Contribution to journal › Short Survey › Other › peer-review

Abstract

Hall et al. have strategically used long-read sequencing technology to characterize the structure and highly repetitive content of the Y chromosome in Anopheles malaria mosquitoes. Their work confirms that this important but elusive heterochromatic sex chromosome is evolving extremely rapidly and harbors a remarkably small number of genes.
