Trans-acting GC-rich non-coding RNA at var expression site modulates gene counting in malaria parasite
Monoallelic expression of the var multigene family enables immune evasion of the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum in its human host. At a given time only a single member of the 60-member var gene family is expressed at a discrete perinuclear region called the ‘var expression site’. However, th...
