Gene therapy requires DNA and/or RNA delivery and analysis, and while most ongoing research involves therapies being delivered in vivo via adeno-associated viral (AAV) vectors, other in vivo delivery methods are on the rise. Multiple rounds of DNA synthesis will then take place to amplify that section.
