Engineering AAV
The present disclosure provides methods and compositions to develop AAV capsids with a desired characteristic compared to a natural AAV serotype. These capsids are useful, for example, for the delivery of genome engineering molecules and gene therapy molecules for the treatment of a subject in need thereof.
