A Linkage-Based Genome Assembly for the Mosquito <i>Aedes albopictus</i> and Identification of Chromosomal Regions Affecting Diapause

The Asian tiger mosquito, <i>Aedes albopictus</i>, is an invasive vector mosquito of substantial public health concern. The large genome size (~1.19–1.28 Gb by cytofluorometric estimates), comprised of ~68% repetitive DNA sequences, has made it difficult to produce a high-quality genome...
