Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Viruses are being exploited as vectors to deliver therapeutic genetic information into target cells. The success of this approach will depend on the ability to overcome current limitations, especially in terms of safety and efficiency, through molecular engineering of the viral particles. METHODS: Here we show that in vitro directed evolution can be successfully performed to randomize the viral capsid...
