RNA Editing-Based Adaption Found in Octopuses, Other Complex Cephalopods

Apr 06, 2017

|

NEW YORK (GenomeWeb) – A team from Israel, the US, and Puerto Rico has demonstrated that a subclass of invertebrate animals such as octopuses, squid, and cuttlefish frequently turn to RNA editing to adjust or tweak the proteins produced from their genes.
