Octopus RNA-editing capability sparks "alien DNA" discussion online

Blabalino posts about octopus DNA complexity and somatic gene editing

A Bluesky post claims octopus DNA is uniquely complex and can change while they are alive, unlike other animals that evolve through generations, linking to a scientific paper and framing the phenomenon as evidence of "alien DNA."

“Octopus DNA is so complex, scientists still don't understand it. While all other animals on earth evolve through multiple generations, octopus DNA can change while they are alive.”
