The optimized chromosome preparation protocol allows karyotyping of multiple planarian species. The optimized chromosome preparation protocol was used to generate karyotypes for two additional planarian species. a D. japonica. b, c Karyotypes obtained for D. japonica demonstrating the presence of both diploid (b) and triploid (c) cells in the same individual. d Table summarizing the ratio of diploid to triploid dividing cells in four D. japonica individuals. e P. velata. f, g A representative P. velata karyotype (f) and quantification of the number of chromosomes per cell (g)
