Scientists at University of Oregon discover one of the oldest known animal sex chromosomes in California two-spot octopus.

Researchers have identified a sex chromosome in the California two-spot octopus. This chromosome has likely been around for 480 million years, since before octopuses split apart from the nautilus on ...
