Organization of cecropin coding genes of <i>Anopheles gambiae</i>.

<p>The nucleotide sequences of the cecropin genes and their respective mRNAs were aligned, and deduced amino acid sequences were determined. The nucleotide residues of mRNAs highlighted in red correspond to cecropin coding sequence (CDS). The nucleotide residues of gene sequence highlighted in italics correspond to the intronic regions. Hyphens (-) represent gaps, and the asterisk marks the stop codon. The ruler indicates the relative position of each nucleotide residue.</p> <p>(DOCX)</p>
