Plasmid technology uses restriction enzymes to cut viral DNA and the DNA to be inserted, fusing them together. Virulence genes are removed from viruses which are then replicated and injected, allowing the new gene to be expressed in cells and passed on through replication. Researchers have developed a viral vector delivering a gene that could cure Choroideremia with a single injection, though unpredictability of DNA insertion and using disabled viruses raise some ethical concerns. This technique aims to cure more genetic diseases in the future.
