"Gentherapie steht nach wie vor nicht im Zentrum des öffentlichen Interesses; nur gelegentlich lässt sich in der veröffentlichten Meinung ein Artikel zu „*Präzisionsfähren* für die Gentherapie“ (FAZ, 13.10.2010) oder zu „Gentherapie bei Parkinson zeigt Wirkung“ (Tagesspiegel, 02.05.2011) finden."
Found a few German ghits, but nothing in English - TIA for your help.

(high-)precision navigation
Not sure at all, but a guess, based on the fact that 'precision navigation' gets its share of googles in combination with 'gene therapy or 'gene transfer'.'

Discussion
I think "precision vectors" might fit nicely for Präzisionsfähren and "gene shuttle" for Genfähren - what do you think?
Genfähren actually appears more often, so I should have posted this as the target word.
