Conserved associations between G-quadruplex-forming DNA motifs and virulence gene families in malaria parasites

2020-02-25

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p>Background : The Plasmodium genus of malaria parasites encodes several families of antigen-encoding genes. These genes tend to be hyper-variable, highly recombinogenic and variantly expressed. The best-characterized family is the var genes, exclusively found in the Laveranian subgenus of malaria parasites infecting humans and great apes. Var genes encode major virulence factors involved...
