RNA-binding protein Nova-1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the NOVA1 gene.{{cite journal | vauthors = Buckanovich RJ, Yang YY, Darnell RB | title = The onconeural antigen Nova-1 is a neuron-specific RNA-binding protein, the activity of which is inhibited by paraneoplastic antibodies | journal = J Neurosci | volume = 16 | issue = 3 | pages = 1114–22 |date=Feb 1996 | doi = 10.1523/JNEUROSCI.16-03-01114.1996 | pmid = 8558240 | pmc = 6578795 }}{{cite web | title = Entrez Gene: NOVA1 neuro-oncological ventral antigen 1| url = https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/entrez?Db=gene&Cmd=ShowDetailView&TermToSearch=4857}}

This gene encodes a neuron-specific RNA-binding protein, a member of the Nova family of paraneoplastic disease antigens, that is recognized and inhibited by paraneoplastic antibodies. These antibodies are found in the sera of patients with paraneoplastic opsoclonus-ataxia, breast cancer, and small cell lung cancer. Alternatively spliced transcripts encoding distinct isoforms have been described. Both Neanderthals and Denisovans had one version and nearly all modern humans had another suggesting positive selection. Insertion of Neanderthal gene variant of the neuro-oncological ventral antigen 1 (NOVA1) gene into human cortical organoids might promote slower development and higher surface complexity in the brain models,{{Cite web|url=https://www.genomeweb.com/gene-silencinggene-editing/neanderthal-gene-variant-alters-neurodevelopment-human-brain-organoids|title = Neanderthal Gene Variant Alters Neurodevelopment in Human Brain Organoids|date = 11 February 2021}} but this may be an artefact of a CRISPR side effect,{{Cite journal |last1=Maricic |first1=Tomislav |last2=Helmbrecht |first2=Nelly |last3=Riesenberg |first3=Stephan |last4=Macak |first4=Dominik |last5=Kanis |first5=Philipp |last6=Lackner |first6=Martin |last7=Pugach-Matveeva |first7=Agrafena Daria |last8=Pääbo |first8=Svante |date=2021-10-15 |title=Comment on "Reintroduction of the archaic variant of NOVA1 in cortical organoids alters neurodevelopment" |url=https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.abi6060 |journal=Science |language=en |volume=374 |issue=6565 |pages=eabi6060 |doi=10.1126/science.abi6060 |pmid=34648345 |s2cid=238990790 |issn=0036-8075}}{{Cite journal |last1=Herai |first1=Roberto H. |last2=Szeto |first2=Ryan A. |last3=Trujillo |first3=Cleber A. |last4=Muotri |first4=Alysson R. |date=2021-10-15 |title=Response to Comment on "Reintroduction of the archaic variant of NOVA1 in cortical organoids alters neurodevelopment" |url=https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.abi9881 |journal=Science |language=en |volume=374 |issue=6565 |pages=eabi9881 |doi=10.1126/science.abi9881 |pmid=34648331 |s2cid=238990560 |issn=0036-8075}} as it could not be replicated in a subsequent study.{{Cite journal |last1=Riesenberg |first1=Stephan |last2=Kanis |first2=Philipp |last3=Macak |first3=Dominik |last4=Wollny |first4=Damian |last5=Düsterhöft |first5=Dorothee |last6=Kowalewski |first6=Johannes |last7=Helmbrecht |first7=Nelly |last8=Maricic |first8=Tomislav |last9=Pääbo |first9=Svante |date=2023-07-20 |title=Efficient high-precision homology-directed repair-dependent genome editing by HDRobust |journal=Nature Methods |volume=20 |issue=9 |pages=1388–1399 |language=en |doi=10.1038/s41592-023-01949-1 |issn=1548-7091|doi-access=free |pmid=37474806 |pmc=10482697 }}
