last year I read that they have two major innovations in this field: 1. they can use a t4 bacteriophage to deploy an arbitrary genetic payload and 2. they can alter the "hooks" on the t4 to make it attach to a large variety of cells.

together, these discoveries pave the way to much more precise genetic engineering.
