These Species Can Recode Their Own Genetics
“A team of scientists led by Joshua Rosenthal at the Marine Biological Laboratory and Noa Liscovitch-Braur and Eli Eisenberg at Tel Aviv University have discovered that octopuses and squid are capable of a type of genetic alteration called RNA editing. The process is rare among other species, leading scientists to believe that the cephalopods have evolved to follow a special kind of gene recoding…”

this kind of RNA re-coding has been known for some time. It’s effects are very limited. What their study showed is that some Cephalopoda exhibit a farther ranging re-coding than was previously thought. They are not changing their genetic code, they are changing how it is expressed.
