Assessing Applicability to Human Germline Gene Therapy An ideal gene transfer system in the context of human germline gene therapy would have the following features: (a) the ability to deliver transgenes ... able to provide all of features (a-g) above. Indeed, some gene transfer systems are so thoroughly unsuited to human germline gene therapy that th...
