Alterations in local chromatin environment are involved in silencing and activation of subtelomeric var genes in Plasmodium falciparum

Plasmodium falciparum erythrocyte membrane protein 1 (PfEMP1), encoded by the var gene family, undergoes antigenic variation and plays an important role in chronic infection and severe malaria. Only a single var gene is transcribed per parasite, and epigenetic control mechanisms are fundamental in t...
