  This is a great 17 minute high-level overview of the science. The breakthrough is the tool/technique used to access the embryo without physically damaging the egg. The glass-like embryo is a unique characteristic of this species, not the knockout gene. This work is a proof of concept; this species does not (yet) reproduce in captivity. Both scientists demonstrate a deep love for cephalopods and for science. They also discuss the ethics surrounding cephalopod research.
