Acanthocephalan parasites are often overlooked in many areas of research, and satellitome and cytogenetic analyzes are no exception. The species of the genus Acanthocephalus are known for their very small chromosomes with ambiguous morphology, which makes karyotyping difficult. In this study, we performed the first satellitome analysis of three Acanthocephalus species to identify species- and chromosome-specific satellites that could serve as cytogenetic markers.

Background/objectives: The ~1.6 kb NBPF repeat units in neuroblastoma breakpoint family (NBPF) genes are specific to humans and are associated with cognitive capacity in higher primates. While the number of NBPF monomers/Olduvai sequences in humans is approximately 2-3 times greater than in great apes, the difference in copy number values of canonical NBPF 3mer Higher-order repeats (HORs)/Olduvai triplets between humans and great apes is substantially larger.

In modern science, the exchange of scientific material between different institutions and collaborating working groups constitutes an indispensable endeavor. For this purpose, bacterial strains are frequently shipped to collaborators to advance joint research projects. Bacterial strains are usually safely shipped as cultures on solid medium, whereas the shipment of liquid cultures requires specific safety measures due to the risk of leakage.
