Summary | Over the last fifteen years the field of genomics has advanced to the forefront of molecular genetic research. Hundreds of genomes, from simple bacterial ones to vertebrates’ genomes have already been sequenced to completion and extensive data mining is already under way. This post-genomic research aims at a better understanding of biology, but at the same time development of products meant, at least in theory, to improve the quality of life has also been initiated. I will summarize here the efforts invested in genomics of the arthropod hosts of the pathogenic agents, protozoan parasites and viruses with an emphasis on the most efficient malaria vector, Anopheles gambiae. | |
