Recombination events among virulence genes in malaria parasites are associated with G-quadruplex-forming DNA motifs

BACKGROUND: Malaria parasites of the genus Plasmodium possess large hyper-variable families of antigen-encoding genes. These are often variantly-expressed and are major virulence factors for immune evasion and the maintenance of chronic infections. Recombination and diversification of these gene fam...
