Plasmodium falciparumvar Gene Is Activated by Its Antisense Long Noncoding RNA

Plasmodium falciparum erythrocyte membrane protein 1, encoded by var gene, is an immunodominant antigen mediating immune evasion in humans. At a given time, only a single var gene is commonly expressed in one parasite. However, the regulation mechanism of var transcription remains largely unknown. I...
