Ace1 locus¶
This page provides information about the Acetylcholinesterase gene, a locus for which there is prior evidence of recent positive selection and/or an association with insecticide resistance in Anopheles mosquitoes.
The locus occurs on chromosome arm 2R from position 3,484,107 to 3,495,790.
The locus contains gene AGAP001356 (ACE1 - Acetylcholinesterase).
