Bacteria living symbiotically within the Hawaiian bobtail squid can direct the host squid to change its normal gene-expression program to make a more inviting home, according to a study published in PLoS Biology by researchers at the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa School of Ocean and Earth Science and Technology.

The Hawaiian bobtail squid is being studied by the University of Hawaiʻi, which scientists say could help the environment and human health.
