How to Make an Octopus: Lessons from the Genome<https://mbl.us14.list-manage.com/track/click?u=9cefa84d03e46926e3394b4d2&id=f2d3fdfa05&e=cc1a53fb05>

Octopuses are fantastically weird animals: they have flexible, sucker-lined arms, three hearts, blue blood, and skin that can change color and texture in the blink of an eye. They also have the largest invertebrate nervous systems, and complex camera-type eyes to rival our own.
To better understand how octopuses and their cephalopod cousins, the squid and the cuttlefish, make these amazing and strange bodies, we can dive into their DNA, looking for the genes that may be responsible for different features. Dr. Albertin will take us on a tour of the octopus genome, highlighting some exciting genes that are new to science, and others that show us that the octopus is similar to us in unexpected ways.
