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