Octopuses, other cephalopods can adjust to cold by editing their RNA Researchers find that these animals can alter genetic information when confronted with temperature changes

„Researchers documented an enormous uptick in RNA editing when cuttlefish, octopus and squid acclimated to cold water. Because editing changes RNA only temporarily, the researchers suspected these animals use it to acclimate to their environment.“

Scientists at UC San Diego wanted to study how squids were able to survive in tropical regions and near-arctic regions with waters just above freezing. They found squids do this by constantly editing their genes to allow them to adapt. 🧬🦑
