Transcription regulation of sex-biased genes during ontogeny in the malaria vector Anopheles gambiae.

In Anopheles gambiae, sex-regulated genes are responsible for controlling gender dimorphism and are therefore crucial in determining the ability of female mosquitoes to transmit human malaria. The identification and functional characterization of these genes will shed light on the sexual development...
