Scientists recently discovered what they believe to be the oldest common an ancestor of today’s octopus and other cephalopods. It lacked a backbone, was slimy, and is now a fossil. Without any ...

Scientists have finished sequencing the first complete octopus genome, and it’s a big step toward unraveling many cephalopod mysteries, including the basis of their unusual intelligence and unmatched ...

Using the CRISPR-Cas9 gene-editing tool, researchers have knocked out a gene in a cephalopod for the first time. The team of scientists from Marine Biological Laboratory (MBL) used a type of squid ...

WOODS HOLE, Mass. --A team at the Marine Biological Laboratory (MBL) has achieved the first gene knockout in a cephalopod using the squid Doryteuthis pealeii, an exceptionally important research ...

In a potentially massive breakthrough for a number of scientific disciplines, a team of scientists report they were able to perform the first gene knockout in a cephalopod — that is, rendering a ...

With their peculiar movement, deep-sea habitat, and surprisingly huge genomes, squid have fascinated humans for centuries. And now, for the first time, scientists have put the cephalopods in an MRI to ...

Biologists have achieved the first gene knockout in a cephalopod using the squid Doryteuthis pealeii, an exceptionally important research organism in biology for nearly a century. The team used CRISPR ...

Researchers have sequenced and annotated the first cephalopod genome, the California two-spot octopus. They found widespread rearrangements of genes and a dramatic expansion of a family of genes ...

Watch as baby octopuses and squid hatch from their eggs and immediately begin hunting and camouflaging themselves. - [David] This is one of the few places you can see octopuses hatch from the egg.

From June 18-25, we’re celebrating the 8th Annual Cephalopod Week by awarding one lucky, many-armed invertebrate the award of a lifetime. It’s the most wonderful time of the year! Cephalopod Week is ...
