Adeno-associated virus (AAV) is currently recognized as one of the simplest single-stranded DNA defective viruses. It typically requires the assistance of adenoviruses or herpesviruses to replicate and amplify within the body.
Recombinant adeno-associated virus (rAAV) refers to a hybrid viral vector created by combining the AAV2 genome with capsid protein genes from different serotypes. In most cases, when we refer to AAV, we are actually referring to rAAV.
The rep and cap genes in the wild-type AAV genome are deleted and replaced with the promoter, gene of interest, and terminator in the recombinant AAV genome.
Genomeditech offers off-the-shelf AAV products with high titers, high transduction efficiency, diverse serotypes, and short delivery times, helping customers achieve precise, efficient, and reliable experimental results. The main product categories include optogenetics, chemogenetics, calcium indicators, Cre recombinase, and control vectors.
