Distinct roles for two RAD51-related genes in Trypanosoma brucei antigenic variation

In Trypanosoma brucei, DNA recombination is crucial in antigenic variation, a strategy for evading the mammalian host immune system found in a wide variety of pathogens. T.brucei has the capacity to encode >1000 antigenically distinct variant surface glycoproteins (VSGs). By ensuring that only on...
