Combined cytogenetic (top, boxes) and recombinational (bottom, horizontal line) maps of the An. gambiae autosomes. The map incorporates RAPDs (continuous lines and codes beginning with R) and selected microsatellites (dashed lines and simple numbers, Zheng et al., 1996, Genetics, in press). The cM scale of the recombinational maps is shown by a bracket. In the cytogenetic maps, chromosomal divisions are shown as numbered boxes, their length being drawn relative to the corresponding length in the cytogenetic map of Coluzzi and Sabatini (1968). The centromere (C) is indicated with an arrow. Chromosomal inversions that map close to STSs are named, and are represented by brackets connecting their known breakpoints (Coluzzi, M., 1982 Spatial distribution of chromosomal inversions and speciation in Anopheline mosquitoes. In: Mechanisms of Speciation, John Liss, N.Y. pp.143-153). RAPDs that could not been mapped by recombination in the A and B families were nevertheless mapped by in situ hybridization to polytene chromosomes, and are only shown above the respective chromosomal divisions. Similarly, markers which were only mapped recombinationally are shown on the cM map but are not connected to cytogenetic locations. Pairs of markers marked with asterisks (R28s and R28r; R30s and R30r; and R32s and R32r) are considered distinct and are not connected between maps.
