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 am...
