Learn more about the genetics of the vampire squid — a strange species whose genome suggests that modern octopuses, squids, and cuttlefish evolved from a squid-like ancient ancestor. According to a ...
From color-changing skin to jet-propelled motion, squid and cuttlefish have long fascinated scientists. To understand the origins of their unique characteristics, many attempts have been made to ...
Researchers from the University of Vienna (Austria), National Institute of Technology—Wakayama College (NITW; Japan), and Shimane University (Japan) present the largest cephalopod genome sequenced to ...
(CN) — Using 3D imaging of rocks, a research team from Hokkaido University in Japan found evidence that ancient squids once dominated the oceans. Cephalopods are model animals for long-term evolution, ...
Learn how a new genomic study reveals that squid and cuttlefish survived a mass extinction in deep-sea refuges before rapidly diversifying into modern species. For tens of millions of years, squid and ...

The Vampire Squid Genome Has Helped Explain the Early Evolution of the Cephalopods — Here’s How
According to a new study in iScience, researchers have now sequenced the largest cephalopod genome in history. Generating the genome of the vampire squid (Vampyroteuthis sp.) and comparing it to the ...
