Tracking karyotype dynamics by flow cytometry reveals de novo chromosome duplications in laboratory cultures of Macrostomum lignano.

The flatworm Macrostomum lignano is a versatile invertebrate model organism with a growing molecular toolbox. Genome assembly and detailed karyotyping revealed that M. lignano is a hidden polyploid species with a recent whole-genome duplication. Its…
