Saw an awesome talk at #cephneuro by the author of this paper about cephalopod sex chromosomes: https://t.co/rC0cBWCc32
It's so neat that octopuses and moths have the same type of sex determination: two Z chromosomes makes male, one Z (plus zero anything else) makes female
Cephalopods are an incredible clade of animals and much of their biology is a mystery. I'm thrilled to share our new preprint, led by @gabcoffing, describing an amazing discovery--ZZ/ZO karyotypes in cephs and the oldest sex chromsome found to date

Our paper on cell types of the octopus visual system is now out @CurrentBiology! We're excited for the new directions this will open up in understanding how the octopus brain processes visual information. Great work team!
