Highlights•Chromatin folding into topologically associated domains (TADs) is pervasive
across animal groups.•TADs are plastic entities composed of genomic strata from different …

Cephalopods are known for their large nervous systems, complex behaviors and
morphological innovations. To investigate the genomic underpinnings of these features, we …

Few animal groups can claim the level of wonder that cephalopods instill in the minds of
researchers and the general public. Much of cephalopod biology, however, remains …

Soft-bodied cephalopods such as octopuses are exceptionally intelligent invertebrates with
a highly complex nervous system that evolved independently from vertebrates. Because of …

The forthcoming massive genome data generated by the Earth BioGenome Project will open
up a new era of comparative genomics, for which genome synteny analysis provides an …

Cephalopod research remains limited by the inability to culture species under laboratory
conditions for multiple generations to provide continuous access to animals at all stages of …

3D genome folding enables the physical storage of chromosomes into the compact volume
of a cell's nucleus, allows for the accurate segregation of chromatin to daughter cells, and …

Coleoid cephalopods possess numerous complex, species-specific morphological and
behavioural adaptations, eg, a uniquely structured nervous system that is the largest among …

The genome of all organisms is spatially organized to function efficiently. The advent of
genome-wide chromatin conformation capture (Hi-C) methods has revolutionized our ability …

Background Coleoid cephalopods have distinctive neural and morphological characteristics
compared to other invertebrates. Early studies reported massive genomic rearrangements …
