Abstract
This invention relates to synthetic adeno-associated virus (AAV) inverted terminal repeats (ITRs) that exhibit altered activities compared to a naturally occurring AAV ITR and methods of using the same for delivery of nucleic acids to a cell or a subject. The synthetic ITRs provide a larger packaging capacity and the ability to manipulate activities such as transduction efficiency, cellular response to transduction, and transcription.
