The paper generates a chromosome-scale genome assembly for Teladorsagia circumcincta and identifies genetic loci associated with drug resistance to improve anthelmintic resistance diagnostics.

This paper optimizes single-nuclei isolation and RNA sequencing for parasitic nematodes, improving yield and RNA quality across life stages and sexes.

The paper maps resistance loci for three anthelmintic classes in a parasitic nematode, identifies novel alleles for benzimidazoles and levamisole, and implicates cky-1 in ivermectin resistance.

This paper identifies gene expression changes associated with ivermectin resistance in parasitic nematodes through genetic crosses and RNA-seq, revealing upregulation of specific genes linked to neuronal plasticity and chloride homeostasis.

The paper identifies a single major QTL on chromosome V associated with ivermectin resistance in Haemonchus contortus through genome-wide analysis of genetic crosses.

The paper develops a high-throughput method to determine anthelmintic resistance allele frequencies in gastrointestinal nematodes using Illumina Mi-seq sequencing.

This paper constructs a genetic map of Haemonchus contortus using whole-genome resequencing, revealing recombination patterns and reproductive traits like polyandry and polyploidy.
