Significance Viral vectors based on the adeno-associated virus (AAV) are at the forefront of human gene therapy; yet, the molecular biology of these vectors is largely unexplored. The aim of this work was to unravel, in a systematic manner, the effect of the individual knockdown of over 18,000 human genes on the efficiency of AAV-mediated transduction. The results obtained connect AAV biology to the processing of cellular DNA damage and pave the way to practical applications to improve therapeutic gene transfer.
