To explore the functional implications of human NOVA1, researchers used CRISPR gene editing to create mice that expressed the uniquely human version of this protein. Within the cell, NOVA1’s job is to ...

Gene splicing involves the cutting out of unnecessary portions of a gene. The remaining parts of that gene then join together. Although the process occurs naturally, scientists are able to mimic it.
