(Crispr-assisted). Var genes silenced, alongside other transcriptomic changes. 'deletion of PfRecQ1 increased the heterochromatin mark trimethylated (H3K9me3) at the transcription start site (TSS) of the var gene upsC1, that deletion had no effect on the global distribution of H3K9me3 over gene bodies, including those for the var genes'.

Imaging data (from Malaria Metabolic Pathways)

Localization of PfBlm in different intra-erythrocytic stages of P. falciparum by immunofluorescence staining and confocal microscopy. The cells were fixed and immunostained with purified primary antibodies against PfBlm followed by fluoro-isothiocyanate-labelled secondary antibody and then counterstained with DAPI. In each panel, single confocal image of each stage is shown. (a) Ring stage, (b) Trophozoite stage, (c) Early schizont stage, (d) Schizont stage, (e) Double infection in schizont stage, (f) Bursting schizont stage. In each panel (i) phase contrast image; (ii) image of cell stained with DAPI (blue); (iii) immunofluorescently stained cell (green); (iv) super-imposed image; (v) merged.Rahman F, Tarique M, Tuteja R.

Co-localization of PfBlm and PfWrn by immunofluorescence dual colour staining and confocal microscopy. Panels a, b, c, d and e show the images of merozoite attached to RBC, trophozoite, early schizont, mature schizont and late schizont respectively. (i) Immunofluorescently stained cell (green, P. falciparum Wrn protein), (ii) immunofluorescently stained cell (red, PfBlm), (iii) super-imposed images of PfBlm and PfWrn, (iv) super-imposed images. The results reveal that PfWrn was found in nucleus as reported and PfBlm is expressed in nucleus as well as in cytoplasm. The co-localization of PfWrn and PfBlm was observed to some extent in invading merozoite (a) and trophozoite stages.Rahman F, Tarique M, Tuteja R.

In each panel (i) phase contrast image; (ii) image of cell stained with DAPI (blue); (iii) immunofluorescently stained cell (green); (iv) super-imposed image; (v) merged. These data are representative of threeseparate experiments. The results showthat Blm protein expresses and localizesmainly in the nuclear region during the ring and trophozoite stages (a–b) but it is also detectable in cytoplasm during the schizont stages of intraerythrocytic development of the parasite.Rahman F, Tarique M, Tuteja R.
