Show PostWhy are octopuses, squid & cuttlefish so smart? 🐙 New study from the University of Vienna: it’s not just the genes, but how the genome folds in 3D. An ancient reorganisation brought distant #DNA regions together and rewired gene regulation. 🧬#Genomics Out now in @natcomms.nature.com ⤵️
Show PostGreat work @theafrogers.bsky.social !
Show PostI’m very excited that this study is out today 🤩 Congrats to Thea for this truly impressive work - spanning multiple species and omics methods to start answering the most interesting questions we can ask about cephalopod genome evolution. Glad we could help by adding some cuttlefish samples!
