World's first head-to-toe cellular atlas of the mosquito released

World's first head-to-toe cellular atlas of the mosquito released

The most dangerous animal in the world just got easier to study—and perhaps defeat one day. Researchers from Rockefeller University's Laboratory of Neurogenetics and Behavior, in collaboration with mosquito experts around the globe, have created the first-ever cellular atlas of the Aedes aegypti mosquito, which transmits more diseases than any other species of its kind.

Researchers Release the World’s First Head-to-Toe Cellular Atlas of the Mosquito

Researchers have created the first-ever cellular atlas of Aedes aegypti, which transmits more diseases than any other mosquito species. The atlas provides a comprehensive snapshot of the genetic expression of every cell, from the antennae down to the legs. The enormous dataset is available to researchers around the world.
