I don’t know about that.
I expect their genomes to be really weird.

"We now know that the evolution of soft-bodied cephalopods involved similarly massive genome changes, but the changes are not whole-genome duplications but rather immense genome rearrangements, as if the ancestral genomes were put in a blender," explains University of Chicago neurobiologist Clifton Ragsdale." If trying to explain that on an evolutionary basis, it suggests the cephalopods genome advanced during a period, or periods where conditions on earth were changing on rapid time scale, more so than a slow process over longer time spanss.

I understand they found one that did nothing but swim in cirlces... apparently named the “Jen psakipi”

Chephalapod? I knew it was about cooking seafood.

For one thing, the octopus is only female -- otherwise they'd be called octococks. /rimshot

To: Red Badger
Two points:
2) note the genes editing ability of mRNA...Is it possible that extraneously introduced mRNA could do the same to the cephalopod genome? What about the human genome?
2) What are the chances of “blenderized” genes ending up in a structure that is so marvelously arranged in the 4d chromosomal structure to work perfectly to help these creatures continuously survive?

Such rapid changes would seem unlikely in their more homeostatic environment - a truly remarkable family.
