Module-level recombination drives DBLMSP polymorphism and functional conservation in Plasmodium falciparum The DBLMSP gene family in Plasmodium falciparum encodes surface antigens involved in immune evasion and red blood cell invasion, yet its extensive polymorphism has long defied straightforward classification. While analyzing DBLMSP1 sequences from samples collected along the China-Myanmar border, we found that haplotypes could not be readily explained by standard population genetic models. Instead, comparative alignment and BLAST analysis revealed that DBLMSP1 and DBLMSP2 consist of discrete,...
