Assignment of 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase and glucose oxidase to chromosome 2 of Anopheles albimanus

Abstract

As a part of a comprehensive, continuous effort to define a linkage map for Anopheles albimanus Wiedemann, 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase (6-Pgd) and glucose oxidase (Go) were assigned to the right arm of chromosome 2. Male-linked translocations and mutant markers were used to establish the map distance and the current sequence of loci on chromosome 2 as follows: brown larva (bw) – ? – ebony (eb) – ? – centromere – ? – T(Y;2R)3 – 17 – Go – 6(?) – bald palpi (bp) – 10 – green larva (gl) – 7 – propoxur resistance (prr) – 2 – red eye (re) – 21 – 6-Pgd
