Orthology and chromosomal synteny between Ae. aegypti, An. gambiae and D. melanogaster. A. Each circle represents a gene set for Ae. aegypti (Ae), An .gambiae (An) and D. melanogaster (Dm). Because a gene can be involved in several homologies, gene sets do not always have the same number of genes within intersections; e.g.: in the Ae/Dm comparison, 943 Ae genes are similar to Dm while 925 Dm genes are similar to Ae. B. Aedes aegypti chromosomes are represented in grey (not to scale). Chromosome arms are designated as ‘p’ and ‘q’ - with no arm distinctions for chromosome 1. Colored chromosomes represent the syntenic chromosome from An. gambiae (An) or D. melanogaster (Dm) (not to scale). Solid lines link the Ae. aegypti chromosome to their primary syntenic chromosome and dashed lines to their secondary syntenic chromosome. The number of Ae orthologs to An and Dm chromosome arms is indicated and the total number of orthologs on the Ae chromosome arm to Ae or Dm is shown in italic in parenthesis.
