Introduction
•
•
•
•
Nearly 2/3 of the worlds population are at risk for malaria
1.5 to 2.5 million children die annually
A. gambiae is the major malaria vector
Genome-wide research needs good CDS structure prediction and
alternative splicing information.
• Current used A. gambiae CDS structures were predicted based on
comparative algorithms that are too conserve. A lot of genes are
missing.
• Comparative gene prediction algorithms also have problems in
prediction of terminal exons, thus, >40% CDS predicted by this
algorithm miss start and/or stop codons.
• The purpose of this work is to create a A. gambiae specific gene
model, fix the incompletion of CDS, and provide the AS information.

Conclusion: 1512 CDS have alternative splicing, most of AS happened in CDS
region which will enrich protein structure and function. Manual curation shows
that the false positive (due to EST contamination) is low (10%). The AS type
distribution indicated that mosquito is more close to plants than mammals.
