Linked-read sequencing identifies abundant microinversions and introgression in the arboviral vector Aedes aegypti

Abstract Background Aedes aegypti is the principal mosquito vector of Zika, dengue, and yellow fever viruses. Two subspecies of Ae. aegypti exhibit phenotypic divergence with regard to habitat, host preference, and vectorial capacity. Chromosomal inversions have been shown to play a major role in ad...
