Gain of function to build therapeutically useful viral vectors

Another excellent example of gain of function research is modification of a viral vector to make it more useful for human gene therapy. Adenovirus associated virus (AAV) is the most commonly used vector for a variety of gene therapy applications, including gene replacement and gene editing. These small viruses, which comprise a single-stranded DNA genome […]
