Researchers used ddRAD-seq to study the schistosome species S. japonicum miracidia, finding that they could analyze up to 30,000 loci from archived samples. The approach offers significantly more information than microsatellite genotyping and is cost-effective. They used Pippin Prep to size-select libraries prior to sequencing on an Illumina MiSeq instrument.
