Transcription profiling of Anopheles gambiae alimentary canal

ABSTRACT: Although the basic anatomical sub-divisions of the larval mosquito gut were established several decades ago, information regarding their exact physiological roles is rather scarce. Several studies have reported differences between larval gut compartments in various morphological and physiological aspects. Unfortunately, the fragmentary and incomplete nature of this information makes it hard to establish clear links to the specific and/or unique physiological roles of each gut region. In this study, we attempted to identify transcripts significantly enriched in each gut section of the 4th instar Anopheles gambiae larva. We took advantage of a commercially-available microarray platform containing ~14,000 different An. gambiae transcripts (Affymetrix GeneChip® Plasmodium/Anopheles array, Af
