Clonal variation of gene expression as a source of phenotypic diversity in parasitic protozoa.

Trends in parasitology - 1 Oct 2001

Meunier L

Abstract excerpt

Within a cellular clone, individual cells can express different members of a gene family. If the difference in expression is transmitted to daughter cells, 'phenotypic clones' are formed. Such clonal phenotypic variation has evolved independently in phylogenetically distant parasitic protozoa under similar selective pressure: the need for phenotypic diversity at several steps of their life cycle. Here, I review...
