Improved reference genome of the arboviral vector Aedes albopictus.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Rates of recombination can vary among genomic regions in eukaryotes, and this is believed to have major effects on their genome organization in terms of base composition, DNA repeat density, intron size, evolutionary rates and gene order. In highly self-fertilizing species such as Arabidopsis thaliana, howev...
