Genome evolution in mosquitoes. A Genome contents in mosquitoes. The pie diagrams illustrate the proportions of the single-copy and repetitive elements in the assemblies of the genomes for An. albimanus, An. coluzzii, Cx. quinquefasciatus, and Ae. aegypti. B Genome landscapes in mosquitoes. Profiles of the genomic content of genes, transposable elements, low-complexity regions, and satellites, along the chromosomal elements of four mosquito species are shown by lines with different colors. Each chromosomal element is split into 50 bins of different lengths, and the coverage of genetic elements occupying each bin is shown along the chromosomes. Positions of centromeres and telomeres are specified by letters C and T, respectively. Correspondence between chromosomal elements and chromosomal arms in mosquito species is shown in Fig. 6. Genome landscape in 1p and 1q arms of Cx. quinquefasciatus and Ae. aegypti which correspond to the element e2 in An. coluzzii are shown by dashed lines
