Background
Ensembl and Vectorbase jointly present the 10x whole genome shotgun assembly (AgamP3) of the PEST strain of Anopheles gambiae, as prepared by The International Anopheles Genome project. Ensembl data and displays for A. gambiae are made possible through a joint effort by the Ensembl Group and VectorBase.

Changes between AgamP3.4 and AgamP3.5 gene builds
AgamP3.5 was released at VectorBase in September 2009, replacing the AgamP3.4 gene build. More information about the new gene build can be found here.

8893 scaffolds were produced as part of the sequencing project with chromosome arms 2L, 2R, 3L, 3R, and X being represented by 12, 23, 22, 10, and 13 large scaffolds respectively. Two artificial chromosomes have been made from unmapped scaffolds concatenated together in size order. The Y_unplaced chromosome has 55 small unordered scaffolds putatively mapped to the Y chromosome. All 8,029 remaining unplaced scaffolds are part of the 'UNKN' (unknown) chromosome.

The genome assembly presented here (AgamP3, February 2006) is a revised assembly based on the whole genome shotgun assembly of the PEST strain of Anopheles gambiae produced by the The International Anopheles Genome Project and described in Holt et al (October 2002) and Mongin et al. AgamP3 incorporates improvements to the placement of scaffolds on chromosomes, the designation of some scaffolds and scaffold segments as alternative assemblies ("haplotypes") and the designation of some scaffolds as probable bacterial contaminants. A description of this new assembly is summarized under current assembly.
