Friday Squid Blogging: Neon Flying Squid

The neon flying squid can fly in formation. The shoal of about 100 squid rose unexpectedly from a patch of the Pacific Ocean around 370 miles from Tokyo and glided near the boat for about 30 metres. The astonished researchers were the first to capture photographs of such a thing, which looked like the early stages of an alien invasion. They were probably neon flying squid (Ommastrephes bartramii), the subsequent study states, a species that is part of a 20-strong flying squid family that was known to leap from the water but, until then, was only rumoured to also be able to glide above it. The neon flying squid was able to gain such elevation by using the hyponome, a funnel-like muscular organ also present in other cephalopods, such as octopuses. The organ is able to force water out in a jet, propelling the body along both in and out of the sea. Photographs of the gliding squid show them with their arms (they have 10 limbs in all) splayed outwards. As usual, you can also use this squid post to talk about the security stories in the news that I haven’t covered. Blog moderation policy.

AI Is Learning to Write Genetic Code

Researchers have successfully used AI models to generate synthetic bacteriophage genomes, with 16 of 285 designs synthesized and tested in E. coli proving viable and some more effective than the natural ΦX174 strain at destroying bacteria. While this demonstrates promising applications for phage therapy and biological research, the capability to design functional viral genomes raises significant biosecurity concerns about potential misuse of AI-generated pathogens.
