A comparative genome study and squid embryo experiment explore how folded DNA may shape cephalopod gene regulation.

Octopuses, squid and cuttlefish carry one of the most unusual genomes in the animal kingdom, and a team at the University of ...

People have different tastes. It turns out that octopuses, squid and cuttlefish do too. These soft-bodied cephalopods have proteins on suckers along their tentacles that allow them to “taste” by ...

The remarkable intelligence of octopuses, squid, and cuttlefish may trace back to an ancient reshuffling of their DNA that ...

Cuttlefish change color by manipulating millions of pigment cells, called chromatophores, which act like color pixels in a ...

Marine biologist Alex Schnell has spent her career probing the inner lives of cephalopods, and what she has found in those ...

INVZMAI copy purchased with funds from the S. Dillon Ripley Endowment. "Largely shell-less relatives of clams and snails, the marine mollusks in the class Cephalopoda--Greek for head-foot --are ...

Amador and his collaborators wanted to dive deeper into the intricate biomechanical mechanisms that allow cuttlefish to grip prey so tightly. Specifically, they wished to determine whether microscopic ...

A University of Vienna study suggests the way octopus DNA is folded inside cells may have helped these animals evolve their ...
