摘要:
The present invention generally relates to a combination of molecular barcoding and emulsion-based microfluidics to isolate, lyse, barcode, and prepare nucleic acids from individual cells in a high-throughput manner.

The present invention generally relates to nanowires and, in particular, to multiwell plates comprising nanowires, including systems and methods of making the same. Such multiwell plates can, in some cases, be used in automated equipment or high-throughput applications. For example, a plurality of cells may be placed in at least some of the wells of the multiwell plate, and one or more nanowires may be inserted into at least some of the cells within the wells of the multiwell plate. In some cases, one or more of the nanowires may have coated thereon a biological effector. The cells in each of the wells may be identical or different, and/or the biological effector may the same or different. Such multiwell plates may be used, for example, to test a biological effector against a variety of cell types, or to test a variety of biological effectors against a one or more cell types, or the like.

The present invention generally relates to nanowire arrays and methods of fabricating such arrays. In certain embodiments, the fabrication methods can consistently form NW arrays with reproducible configurations at nanoscale sites and produce NWs of specified heights, diameters, and densities. In some cases, the methods also allow formation of NW arrays containing barriers between regions, which would be prohibitively expensive if prepared by other methods.

This invention relates generally to compositions and methods for identifying the regulatory network that modulates, controls or otherwise influences T cell balance, for example, Th17 cell differentiation, maintenance and/or function, as well compositions and methods for exploiting the regulatory network that modulates, controls or otherwise influences T cell balance in a variety of therapeutic and/or diagnostic indications. This invention also relates generally to identifying and exploiting target genes and/or target gene products that modulate, control or otherwise influence T cell balance in a variety of therapeutic and/or diagnostic indications.
