The spelling of "neu Gene" may seem confusing at first glance, but it can be explained using IPA phonetic transcription. "Neu" is pronounced as "noi," with an "n" sound at the beginning, followed by a long "oi" sound. "Gene" is pronounced as "dʒin," with a "dʒ" sound at the beginning, followed by a short "i" sound and a final "n" sound. When combined, the two words form "noi-dʒin," which sounds like "noidgin." This word refers to a new gene that has been identified.
