This is an educated guess. De novo assembly means newly assembled. Imagine that a virus can be made in two fragments which have the ability to self-assemble. When the parts come together under the right conditions, they might re-assemble. If the re-assembly is correct, then the virus might be re-assembled into a fully functional virus.

With synthetic Biology, this is within the realm of reality.
