A single locus determines praziquantel response in Schistosoma mansoni

Show abstract
We previously performed a genome-wide association study (GWAS) to identify the genetic basis of praziquantel (PZQ) response in schistosomes, identifying two quantitative trait loci (QTL) situated on chromosome 2 and chromosome 3. We reanalyzed this GWAS using the latest (v10) genome assembly showing that a single locus on chromosome 3, rather than two independent loci, determines drug response. These results reveal that praziquantel response is monogenic and demonstrates the importance of high-quality genomic information.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
