Design of a variant surface antigen-supplemented microarray chip for whole transcriptome analysis of multiple <it>Plasmodium falciparum </it>cytoadherent strains, and identification of strain-transcendent <it>rif </it>and <it>stevor </it>genes

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>The cytoadherence of <it>Plasmodium falciparum </it>is thought to be mediated by variant surface antigens (VSA), encoded by <it>var</it>, <it>rif</it>, <it>stevor </it>and <it>pfm...
