What is recombinant defective retrovirus

Answers

GPT 3.5
A recombinant defective retrovirus is a genetically engineered virus that has been modified to be unable to replicate in target cells but is still capable of delivering genetic material into those cells. This technology is commonly used in gene therapy and research to introduce specific genes into cells for therapeutic or experimental purposes. By using a defective retrovirus, the risk of the virus causing harm or replicating uncontrollably is minimized while still allowing for efficient gene delivery.
