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.
