ticks. A proposal was made to sequence the genome of
A. gambiae
in five years
with a cost of between US$50 and $90 million using Sanger sequencing (
Balter
1999
). In 2001, plans were finalized for sequencing the
An. gambiae
genome at a
cost of
≈
$10 million (
Balter 2001
).
Table 7.3
lists the arthropod species that have
had their genomes sequenced by July 2012, with most of the recent genomes
having been sequenced by next-generation (NextGen) sequencing methods.
Table 7.3
will become outdated very rapidly because the use of newer
sequencing techniques have reduced the costs and time required to sequence
