Antigenic variation as a strategy to evade the host adaptive immune response has evolved
in divergent pathogens. Antigenic variation involves restricted, and often mutually exclusive …

Phenotypic variation in genetically identical malaria parasites is an emerging topic. Although
antigenic variation is only part of a more global parasite strategy to create adaptation …

Clonally variant expression of surface antigens allows the malaria parasite Plasmodium
falciparum to evade immune recognition during blood stage infection and secure malaria …

The regulation of eukaryotic chromatin relies on interactions between many epigenetic
factors, including histone modifications, DNA methylation, and the incorporation of histone …

The asexual forms of the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum are adapted for chronic
persistence in human red blood cells, continuously evading host immunity using …

Deposition of the histone variant H2A. Z at gene bodies regulates transcription by modifying
chromatin accessibility in plants. However, the role of H2A. Z enrichment at the promoter and …

Abstract H2A. Z variant has emerged as a critical player in regulating plant responses to
environment; however, the mechanism by which H2A. Z mediates this regulation remains …

Malaria is a significant threat throughout the developing world. Among the most fascinating
aspects of the protozoan parasites responsible for this disease are the methods they employ …

Over the past decade, we have witnessed significant progresses in understanding gene
regulation in Apicomplexa including the human malaria parasite, Plasmodium falciparum …

A major virulence factor of the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum is erythrocyte
