Idiograms of metaphase karyotypes of species from the An. gambiae complex. (A) An idiogram of metaphase karyotypes of An. gambiae and An. coluzzii. (B) Comparison of the X chromosome idiograms among species from the An. gambiae complex. Left and right arms are labeled with L and R, respectively. Black bands correspond to condensed heterochromatin. Dark gray bands correspond to diffuse heterochromatin. White areas represent the rDNA locus. Light gray areas show euchromatin. The area of constriction represents the putative centromere. Mapping of the BAC clones and satDNA repeats AgY53A and AgY53C were performed only with An. coluzzii or An. gambiae. Two different positions of AgY477–AgY53B on the X chromosome of An. gambiae and An. coluzzii represent polymorphism among strains.
