CRISPR Interference of a Clonally Variant GC-Rich Noncoding RNA Family Leads to General Repression of var Genes in Plasmodium falciparum

The human malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum uses mutually exclusive expression of the PfEMP1-encoding var gene family to evade the host immune system. Despite progress in the molecular understanding of the default silencing mechanism, the activation mechanism of the uniquely expressed var membe...
