Warmth shifts rather than speeds transcriptomic ageing in the malaria mosquito Anopheles gambiae
Only older mosquitoes transmit malaria, so how warming changes mosquito ageing matters for disease. Warmer temperatures are known to make mosquitoes age faster, but 'faster' can mean two different things: the ageing clock ticks more quickly, or it is simply set forward. We distinguished these by reanalysing 115 whole-body RNA-sequencing libraries from female Anopheles gambiae kept at 27, 30 or 32…
