The genetic expression from adenoviruses is transient, where the DNA is free within the host cell’s nucleus (episomal) where it can be transcribed, but upon cell division these genes will not be replicated.

Third generation adenoviral Vectors also known as helper dependent adenovirus as they lack all the coding sequences and require helper virus which carries all the coding sequences needed for successful infection like viral DNA replication, viral assembly and infection of new cells etc.

Adeno-associated vectors (AAV) Adeno-associated viruses (AAVs) are a group of small, single-stranded DNA viruses. The insert size for AAV is 4.5 kb, with the advantage of long-term gene expression as they integrate into chromosomal DNA.
