To evade the human host's immune response, SARS-CoV-2, the coronavirus that causes COVID-19 uses the machinery of defense cells to induce the expression of unproductive isoforms of key antiviral genes—variant forms of genes that result from disrupted splicing or transcription processes and do not code for functional (protective) proteins.
