ABSTRACT
Trujillo et al. (Research Articles, 12 February 2021, eaax2537) conclude that the reintroduction of an ancestral amino acid substitution in the protein NOVA1 drastically alters the development of brain organoids. We show that cell lines used by the authors carry heterozygous deletions of the target DNA sequence, providing another plausible explanation for the effects observed.
