Alterations in local chromatin environment are involved in silencing and activation of subtelomeric var genes in <em>Plasmodium falciparum</em> (Publications)
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
<em>Plasmodium</em> gene regulation: far more to factor in (Publications)
Gene expression in the malaria parasite has received generous attention over the past several decades, predominantly because of the importance of var gene regulation, which is key to antigenic variati
