"Genetically Modified Transparent Squid: A Breakthrough for Brain Research"

Researchers at the Marine Biological Laboratory have successfully genetically engineered a transparent squid using CRISPR technology. By deactivating genes responsible for pigment production, the squid becomes nearly invisible, allowing for unprecedented observation of its internal processes. This breakthrough provides a new model organism for studying cephalopods, which have advanced cognitive abilities and complex nervous systems. The transparent squid will enable researchers to study biological function at a higher resolution and gain insights into the unique biology of cephalopods.
