In addition to being the vector of choice for gene delivery to a variety of cell types, now you know that AAVs can provide a powerful boost to
genome editing experiments.
In this post we'll walk through a variety of ways you can use AAVs to improve
your genome editing experiments (with and without targeted nucleases).
