Shared Mechanisms for Mutually Exclusive Expression and Antigenic Variation by Protozoan Parasites
8 Mar 2022
Abstract excerpt
Cellular decision-making at the level of gene expression is a key process in the development and evolution of every organism. Variations in gene expression can lead to phenotypic diversity and the development of subpopulations with adaptive advantages. A prime example is the mutually exclusive activation of a single gene from within a multicopy gene family. In mammals, this ranges from the activation of one of...
