    Our paper on updated genetic mapping of #PZQ response in #schistosome is finally out in #AACJournal edited by the @ASMicrobiology. Get your #OpenAccess copy and have a nice weekend read!

    Did you miss our latest paper on #praziquantel 💊 and #schistosome 🐛? We reanalyzed our data with the latest genome assembly. The main takeaway:
    - #PZQ response is determined by only one QTL rather than 2 independent loci.
    - The Sm.TRPM_PZQ gene is still differentially expressed.
    - There are now only 3 gene isoforms and isoform 1 mainly explains the difference in expression.

    This demonstrates that high-quality genome assembly is critical for correct trait mapping.
