Abstract: Provided herein, inter alia, are compositions, methods, and systems for efficient genetic manipulation of myelod cells without the use of viral vectors. Further provided are strategies for gene disruption in primary myeloid cells (e.g. of human and murine origin) using electroporation-based delivery of Cas/ribonuclear proteins (RNPs). Methods provided herein including embodiments thereof can provide near population-level genetic knockout of single and multiple targets in a range of cell types without selection or enrichment. Cellular fitness and response to immunological stimuli may be unaffected by the gene editing process.

In the first position, at the cover can substantially close the opening such that the connector is substantially protected from the infiltration of solid particles and the gross intrusion of liquids. In the second position, the cover can be held away from the connector such that substantially unimpeded access to the connector is permitted. The cover and communication device can have various associated features to ensure that the cover is retained in the first and second positions.
