The Culex quinquefasciatus data and its display on Ensembl Genomes are made possible through a joint effort by the Ensembl Genomes group and VectorBase, a NIAID Bioinformatics Resource Center. The source data for this genome and other resources can be accessed via the VectorBase browser.
About Culex quinquefasciatus
Culex quinquefasciatus, the Southern House Mosquito, is the vector responsible for transmission of filariasis and a number of viruses including West Nile virus, St. Louis encephalitis and Japanese encephalitis.

EST and Protein Alignments
Culex quinquefasciatus ESTs were mapped onto the genome using Exonerate (Example: supercont3.1:434000-584000).
WU-BlastX was used to map proteins from Anopheles and Aedes taxa, and from all of UniProtKB, onto the Culex quinquefasciatus genome. (Example: supercont3.1:434000-584000).
GeneWise was used to map UniProtKB proteins from non-redundant taxonomic levels onto the Culex quinquefasciatus genome. The taxonomic levels used were: Drosophila, Diptera, Arthropods, Metazoa, Eukaryotes, and non-Eukaryotes (Example: supercont3.1:434000-584000).
