A targeted amplicon sequencing panel for cost-effective high-throughput genotyping of <i>Aedes aegypti</i>.

ABSTRACT: The mosquito Aedes aegypti is the primary vector for several medically significant arboviruses, including dengue, Zika, chikungunya, and yellow fever. Studying the genetic diversity of Ae. aegypti is crucial for understanding its evolutionary history, population dynamics, and the effectiveness of vector control methods. Due to the large genome size of Ae. aegypti, whole-genome sequencing (WGS) is often cost-prohibitive for large-scale studies. Recent advances in reduced-representation methods, aiming to reduce costs by sequencing only a small portion of the genome, provide cost-effective alternatives. However, a standardized set of genome-wide markers specifically designed for population genetic studies of Ae. aegypti remains unavailable. Here, we present a targ
