Yes, the general gist of this article is familiar.

Two researches from VICAL are listed on the article that I read.

The one thing that I would say is that the Nature article writes: "Such vaccines are simple, containing only a gene plucked from a disease-causing organism and inserted into a circle of bacterial DNA known as a plasmid." There is a lot of work required to get to the point of inserting the gene into the plasmid. You have to find the right gene, have appropriate genes for co-expression. Even then you may not get the type of response expected and have to determine the most appropriate way to deliver the vaccine.
