Ensembl data and displays for Anopheles gambiae are
made possible through a joint effort by the Ensembl group and
VectorBase, a NIAID Bioinformatics Resource Center. Please access

The genome assembly presented here (AgamP3, February 2006) is a revised assembly based on the whole genome shotgun assembly of the PEST strain of Anopheles gambiae produced by the The International Anopheles Genome Project and described in Holt et al (October 2002) and Mongin et al.
The annotation of AgamP3 has been carried out by VectorBase using the Ensembl system. Gene prediction utilised updated mappings of protein sets and Anopheles ESTs to the genome together with data provided by the research community, a limited number of models manually annotated by VectorBase, and selected ab initio predictions. 'Known' genes are those which could be named using entries from the community gene symbol database or from Uniprot.
Whole Genome Alignments
Additional microarray data from our collaborators at Imperial College has been added to Aedes and Anopheles, and corrections made to other microarray data in the latter species.
