[i] For D. melanogaster, gene names and cytological localization are derived from FlyBase; the genes are ordered according to the molecular map, which represents the approximate positions (in kilobases) of the 5′ ends of the genes (Benos et al. 2001). ForA. gambiae, the cytological localizations on polytene chromosomes are according tot he maps of M. Coluzzi, A. Sabbatini, M.A. Di Deco, and V. Petrarca (pers. comm.); the names of the sequences are as they appear in corresponding database entries with the indicated accession numbers. The A. gambiae 4A3A and 4A3B entries are expressed sequence tags, and entries ending with sp6 or t7 are sequence tagged sites (STSs) from chromosomal bacterial artificial chromosomes (BACs), % identities refer to one or more exons.
