This release of Aedes aegypti data is assembled into scaffolds, so there are no chromosomes available to browse.
A few example data points :
Ensembl data and displays for Aedes aegypti are
made possible through a joint effort by the Ensembl group and
VectorBase, a NIAID Bioinformatics Resource Center. Please access

Aedes aegypti is the primary mosquito vector responsible for the
transmission of both the yellow fever and dengue fever viruses.
The Aedes aegypti Liverpool LVP strain genome sequence is a joint effort between the Broad Institute and The Institute for Genomic Research (TIGR). Assembly of 8x shotgun coverage was performed using the Broad's whole genome assembly package ARACHNE. The assembly presented here (AaegL1, August 2005) consists of 4,758 supercontigs, totalling 1.3 Gigabases, with a Contig N50 of 82 Kb and supercontig N50 size of 1,500 Kb.
The annotation of the Aedes genome is a collaboration between VectorBase and TIGR. Each group generated a set of gene predictions which were merged into a single canonical set (AaegL1.1). See the brief overview for details of how each set was generated. The merging strategy will be described in the genome paper (in preparation).
There is no Aedes aegypti-specific news this release.
