Positive selection and interallelic recombination at the merozoite surface antigen-1 (MSA-1) locus of Plasmodium falciparum.

Molecular biology and evolution - 1 May 1992

Hughes A L

Abstract excerpt

DNA sequences of alleles at the merozoite surface antigen-1 (MSA-1) gene locus of the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum show evidence of repeated past recombination events between alleles. These include both (1) nonreciprocal recombination events that have homogenized certain gene regions among alleles and (2) reciprocal recombination events that have combined allelic segments with divergent evolutionary...
