Author Contributions
YD conducted Plasmodium and bacterial infection assays, RNAi assays, and real-time quantitative PCR assays. RA provided technical assistance with RNAi assays. EM predicted and annotated the Anopheles gambiae transcriptome from the available genome sequence as of September 2004. EW performed gene-silencing assays with GNBPB1. ZX performed bacteria infection gene expression assays. GD designed microarray oligonucleotide sequences and performed microarray hybridization assays and was mainly responsible for the experimental design.
