A massive RNA editing in various species of cephalopods
An article published in the journal “Cell” describes a research on cephalopods that revealed that in particular in the coleoids (Coleoidea) subclass that includes octopuses, squid and cuttlefish there can be an RNA editing that allows a better adaptation to the environment and in particular to cold. According to the researchers this mechanism comes at the expense of the evolution of DNA.
