Where this comes from

Abstract

The molecular mechanisms that generate the developmental and physiological complexity found within cephalopods are not well understood. In this issue of Cell, Birk et al. and Rangan and Reck-Peterson show that cephalopods differentially edit their RNA in response to temperature changes and that this editing has consequences on protein function.
