Improved reference genome of <i>Aedes aegypti</i> informs arbovirus vector control, Published online: 14 November 2018; doi:10.1038/s41586-018-0692-z

An improved, fully re-annotated Aedes aegypti genome assembly (AaegL5) provides insights into the sex-determining M locus, chemosensory systems that help mosquitoes to hunt humans and loci involved in insecticide resistance and will help to generate intervention strategies to fight this deadly disease vector.
