Coleoid cephalopod genomes show distinct 3D architecture
Original: Genome reorganisation and expansion shape 3D genome architecture and define a distinct regulatory landscape in coleoid cephalopods
A study published in Nature reports that genome reorganisation and expansion have shaped the three-dimensional genome architecture of coleoid cephalopods, the group including octopuses, squids and cuttlefish. The findings indicate these animals possess a regulatory landscape distinct from other invertebrates, potentially linked to their complex behaviours and elaborate nervous systems, and prompting discussion among evolutionary and genome biologists.
Why now: A new Nature study on cephalopod genome evolution has just been published, drawing attention from the biology community.
