A new study describes a bioluminescent gene that could be the reason that so-called “sea pickles,” or pyrosomes, an underwater free-floating colony of thousands of tiny animals, reverberate in blue-green light. If confirmed, the finding would be the first bioluminescent gene identified from a chordate—the group that includes all vertebratesContinue Reading
