Abstract
Provided herein are methods for inducing CRISPR/Cas-based gene regulation (e.g., genome editing or gene expression) of a target nucleic acid (e.g., target DNA or target RNA) in a cell. The methods include using modified single guide RNAs (sgRNAs) that enhance gene regulation of the target nucleic acid in a primary cell for use in ex vivo therapy or in a cell in a subject for use in in vivo therapy. Additionally, provided herein are methods for preventing or treating a genetic disease in a subject by administering a sufficient amount of a modified sgRNA to correct a mutation in a target gene associated with the genetic disease.
A capillary array assembly is fabricated by inserting capillaries into respective grooves of a substrate and fixing the capillaries to the substrate. The capillaries are fixed by applying heat and force to the substrate, with a defined displacement of substrate material and for a defined period of time, thereby spreading heated portions of the substrate over the capillaries. After applying the heat and force, capillaries are at least partially embedded by the substrate and may be at least partially exposed to a top outside surface of the substrate by respective slots. The capillary array assembly may be utilized, for example, in a sample analysis instrument such as a capillary electrophoresis (CE) instrument.
