Analysis of subtelomeric virulence gene families in Plasmodium falciparum by comparative transcriptional profiling

The Plasmodium falciparum genome is equipped with several subtelomeric gene families that are implicated in parasite virulence and immune evasion. Members of these families are uniformly positioned within heterochromatic domains and are thus subject to variegated expression. The best-studied example...
