Direct chromosomal preparation protocol from old world tarantulas (Araneae, Theraphosidae) by Paveen Piyatrakulchai, Alongklod Tanomtong, Phichaya Buasriyot, Narin Chomphuphuang

“…The Theraphosidae (Thorell, 1869) is the most prevalent family in the suborder Mygalomorpae, but little is known about their cytogenetics, nor have the chromosomes of old-world tarantulas been studied. This study aims to develop an efficient protocol for chromosomal tarantula preparation in which chromosomes are extracted directly from the internal organs of spiders following in vivo colchicine treatment. …”
