Patterns of polymorphism in genomic regions flanking three highly polymorphic surface antigens in Plasmodium falciparum.

Molecular and biochemical parasitology - 1 May 2008

Amodu Olukemi K, Hartl Daniel L, Roy Scott William

Abstract excerpt

Many surface antigens of the human malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum show extraordinary diversity, with different alleles being so divergent as to be unalignable in some coding regions. To better understand the population history and modes of selection on such loci, we sequenced genomic regions flanking the highly polymorphic genes merozoite surface protein-1, merozoite surface protein-2, and...
