Meeega cool

Today's fact of the day is inspired by some advanced studying I was doing on genetics :)

Fact of the day:

Octopuses can edit their own genes!

Cephalopods like squids, cuttlefish, and octopuses are incredibly intelligent and wily creatures—so much so that they can rewrite the genetic information in their neurons. Instead of one gene coding for one protein, which is normally the case, a process called recoding lets one octopus gene produce multiple proteins.
