The genome sequence is 224 megabases in span. Most of the assembly is scaffolded into three chromosomal pseudomolecules with the X sex chromosome assembled. The complete mitochondrial genome was also assembled and is 15.4 kilobases in length. ## Linked entities - **Diseases:** malaria (MONDO:0005136) - **Species:** Anopheles maculipalpis (taxon 1496333) ## Full-text entities - **Diseases:** malaria mosquito (MESH:D008288) - **Species:** Anopheles maculipalpis (species) [taxon 1496333] ## Full text _Full body text omitted from this summary view._ Fetch the complete paper as Markdown: https://tomesphere.com/paper/PMC11809154/full.md ## Figures 5 figures with captions in the complete paper: https://tomesphere.com/paper/PMC11809154/full.md ## References 31 references — full list in the complete paper: https://tomesphere.com/paper/PMC11809154/full.md --- Source: https://tomesphere.com/paper/PMC11809154
