This is possible because DNA isn't the boss of squid - instead, squid interfere with the code as it's being transmitted by RNA.

这是有可能的,因为DNA不是乌贼的大老板—相反,在通过RNA传播基因码时,乌贼会进行干预。
Squid have also proved to be highly adaptable during climate change.
已证实,乌贼在气候变化中具有很强的适应性。
While other species are going extinct or nearing extinction amid the crisis, the squid population is actually booming.
当其他物种在危机中濒临灭绝时,乌贼的数量却在激增。
This could have something to do with their remarkable gene-editing skills.
这可能与它们卓越的基因编辑技能有关。
One biologist said, "They diverged in evolution so long ago from us.
一位生物学家表示:“它们在进化上与人类早有分歧。
They're basically the most advanced, behaviorally, animals of their kind of lineage."
它们在行为表现方面基本上是同类中最先进的动物。”
