The analysis of telomere repeat distribution in chromosomes of five opisthorchid species (Opisthorchis felineus (Rivolta, 1884), Opisthorchis viverrini (Poirier, 1886), Metorchis xanthosomus (Creplin, 1846), Metorchis bilis (Braun, 1890), Clonorchis sinensis (Cobbold, 1875)) was performed with fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) of labeled (TTAGGG)n DNA-probe and PNA telomere probe on mitotic and meiotic chromosomes of these species. It was shown that chromosome telomeres of all studied species contain large clusters of (TTAGGG)n telomeric repeats. Interstitial clusters of the (TTAGGG)n repeats have not been revealed in the chromosomes of any studied species even when FISH of PNA telomere probe on pachytene chromosomes was performed. Furthermore interstitial clusters of the (TTAGGG)n repeats have not been detected in the chromosomes of O. viverrini, one of chromosomes of this species is the result of a fusion of two ancestral opisthorchid chromosomes.

Rineloricaria is the most diverse genus within the freshwater fish subfamily Loricariinae, and it is widely distributed in the Neotropical region. Despite limited cytogenetic data, records from southern and south-eastern Brazil suggest a high rate of chromosomal rearrangements in this genus, mirrored in remarkable inter- and intraspecific karyotype variability. In the present work, we investigated the karyotype features of Rineloricaria teffeana, an endemic representative from northern Brazil, using both conventional and molecular cytogenetic techniques.

As one of the crucial factors associated with human life span and cancer progression, telomerase is regarded as an emerging biomarker for cancer diagnosis. Therefore, a facile, rapid and sensitive approach for telomerase activity detection with point-of-care (POC) diagnosis potential is in great demands. Herein, an all-in-one telomerase activity detection assay was established based on the telomere synthesis activated CRISPR-Cas12a system.

Despite conservation of the diploid number, a huge diversity in karyotype formulae is found in the Ancistrini tribe (Loricariidae, Hypostominae). However, the lack of cytogenetic data for many groups impairs a comprehensive understanding of the chromosomal relationships and the impact of chromosomal changes on their evolutionary history. Here, we present for the first time the karyotype of Panaqolus tankei Cramer & Sousa, 2016.

The large-sized tapeworm Dibothriocephalus latus is known as the broad or fish-borne cestode of mammals that is capable to infect humans and cause diphyllobothriosis. Recently, molecular data on D. latus has been accumulating in the literature and a complete genome sequence has been published; however, little is known about the karyotype and chromosome architecture.
