Epigenetic mechanisms control key processes during Plasmodium falciparum blood stage development such as antigenic variation, malaria pathogenesis and sexual commitment. However, the epigenetic landscape has not been reported for the sporozoites stage. To characterize epigenetic regulation in sporozoites, we tested the major epigenetic regulators P. falciparum Heterochromatin Protein 1 (PfHP1) and the histone lysine methyltransferases (PfSET6 and PfSET7) in P. falciparum sporozoites. I obtained a reliable genome-wide occupancy data for repressive heterochromatin and active euchromatin marks. Notably, I discovered an unprecedented stage specific mechanism of silencing, which represses several hundreds of genes, encoding parasite surface expo...
