Within the emerging innovation stage, cell therapy for ocular disorders, coronavirus vaccine components, and DNA polymerase compositions are disruptive technologies that are in the early stages of application and should be tracked closely. There are two main genes in the AAV genome, rep and cap, which encode nine different proteins.

Messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) is a single-stranded molecule that is complementary to a gene’s DNA. It is important in the process of protein synthesis because mRNA is responsible for transferring genetic information from DNA to ribosomes, which then decodes the genetic information into a protein.

Rapid growth in gene therapy is expected to receive additional support as the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research (CBER) prepares to launch Operation Warp Speed for Rare Diseases. From a technical standpoint, such diseases should be easier to treat with current gene therapy technology.
