Ribonuclease H1-targeted R-loops in surface antigen gene expression sites can direct trypanosome immune evasion

Switching of the Variant Surface Glycoprotein (VSG) in Trypanosoma brucei provides a crucial host immune evasion strategy that is catalysed both by transcription and recombination reactions, each operating within specialised telomeric VSG expression sites (ES). VSG switching is likely triggered by e...
