Mendelian randomization is used to provide a statistical measure of the confidence we can have in a risk factor. It’s a valuable tool when dealing with large genetic datasets and confounding variables.

In our latest YouTube video, hear from Psomagen’s expert team about how this technique works, and when it may be beneficial to your research: https://bit.ly/4saJT3G

In recognition of Rare Disease Day tomorrow, we’re sharing a recent conversation with Dr. Catherine Brownstein of Boston Children’s Hospital on how genomics is advancing rare and orphan disease research.

From long-read sequencing and structural variant detection to automation and large-scale studies in underrepresented populations, Dr. Brownstein reflects on how far the field has come, and what’s still needed to move discovery forward.

Metabarcoding of eDNA is an alternative approach to studying digenetic trematodes and their presence in the species they infect. Traditional approaches include collecting hosts (like snails), shedding larval parasites, or dissecting the host – all of which are time-consuming and disruptive to the ecosystem.

In this study, scientists from the University of Alberta compared trematode community composition in eDNA metabarcoding compared to the baseline found in infected snails. 21 samples were sent to Psomagen, where they underwent 16S metagenomic sequencing. There was no significant difference between eDNA barcoding and cercariometry samples in terms of estimating trematode richness at a single site. However, cercariometry identified more species across different site. Thus, these results point toward combining these methods for improved characterization of these parasitic communities.
