Researchers are making strides toward a set of rules to custom-design viral vectors for gene therapy. They have adapted a computer algorithm to find the parts of two distantly related adeno-associated viruses that could be recombined into new and useful viruses for gene therapy. They intend to determine the rules by which custom viruses can easily be designed for therapies.
