[Molecular genetic analysis of the X-chromosomal nuclear envelope attachment region in nurse cells of the malaria mosquitoes Anopheles messeae Fall].
DNA of the X-chromosomal nuclear envelope attachment region was isolated from malaria mosquito Anopheles messeae Fall. nurse cells by chromosome microdissection. A DNA library of the region was constructed using a plasmid vector. DNA sequencing revealed gene fragments, tandem repeats, and a great variety of transposable elements (TEs). The X-chromosomal nuclear envelope attachment region was concluded to correspond in molecular organization and cytogenetics to diffuse intercalary heterochromatin.
