    The Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) suffers from one of the highest malaria burdens worldwide, but information on its Anopheles vector populations is relatively limited. Preventative malaria control in DRC is reliant on pyrethroid-treated nets, raising concerns over the potential impacts of insecticide resistance. We sampled Anopheles gambiae from three geographically distinct populations (Kimpese, Kapolowe and Mikalayi) in southern DRC, collecting from three sub-sites per population and characterising mosquito collections from each for resistance to pyrethroids using WHO tube bioassays. Resistance to each of three different pyrethroids was generally high in An. gambiae with < 92% mortality in all tests, but varied between collections, with mosquitoes from Kimpese being the most resistant. Whole genome sequencing of 165 An. gambiae revealed evidence for genetic differentiation between Kimpese and Kapolowe/Mikalayi, but not between the latter two sample sites despite separation of approximately 800 km. Surprisingly, there was evidence of population structure at a small spatial scale between collection subsites in Kimpese, despite separation of just tens of kilometres. Intra-population (H12) and inter-population (F<sub>ST</sub>) genome scans identified multiple peaks corresponding to genes associated with insecticide resistance such as the voltage gated sodium channel (Vgsc) target site on chromosome 2L, a Cyp6 cytochrome P450 cluster on chromosome arm 2R, and the Cyp9k1 P450 gene on chromosome X. In addition, in the Kimpese subsites, the P450 redox partner gene Cpr showed evidence for contemporary selection (H12) and population differentiation (F<sub>ST</sub>) meriting further exploration as a potential resistance associated marker.
