DNA break site at fragile subtelomeres determines probability and mechanism of antigenic variation in African trypanosomes.

Antigenic variation in African trypanosomes requires monoallelic transcription and switching of variant surface glycoprotein (VSG) genes. The transcribed VSG, always flanked by '70 bp'-repeats and telomeric-repeats, is either replaced through DNA double-strand break (DSB) repair or transcr...
