Abstract: Recently the studies on mosquito genomics, transcriptomics and small RNAomics developed rapidly with the novelbiotechnologies of the next generation sequencing techniques. The genome sequences of several important vector mosquitoesincluding Anopheles gambiae, Culex quinquefasciatus, and Aedes aegypti have been published. The genome sizes vary among thedifferent species of mosquitoes and are consistent with the number of the repeat regions. The released genome sequencesfacilitate gene cloning and identification as for OBP, OR and dsx genes. Transcriptomics provides a useful tool for functionalanalyses of the mosquito genes, and using this technique, the molecular basis of mosquito blooding, gland proteins anddiapauses have been explored. Studies on small RNAomics suggest important roles of miRNAs and piRNAs in ovarydevelopment, blood digestion, and immunity against virus infection. The studies on mosquito omics have generated a big dataplatform for investigation of vector biology and vector-transmitted disease prevention.
