scAAVengr, a transcriptome-based pipeline for quantitative ranking of engineered AAVs with single-cell resolution
Background: Adeno-associated virus (AAV)-mediated gene therapies are rapidly advancing to the clinic, and AAV engineering has resulted in vectors with increased ability to deliver therapeutic genes. Although the choice of vector is critical, quantitative comparison of AAVs, especially in large anima...
