Single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) has proven to be an ideal template for knock-in experiments using CRISPR technology and it demonstrates superior editing efficiencies, reduced cytotoxicity, and fewer off-target effects. It has been validated across multiple insertion sites, accommodating a wide range of insertion sequences, and has been employed in various knock-in experiments involving human primary cells. Additionally, ssDNA has found extensive applications in single-stranded conformation polymorphism, in vitro transcription studies, S1 nuclease localization, probe preparation and labeling, differential subtractive hybridization, and other experimental contexts. For instance, ssDNA can serve as a scaffold in DNA nanotechnology, a carrier for drug delivery, a tool for molecular diagnostics, a medium for DNA-based data storage, and for various nanoscale applications.

The desired genes are extracted by using extraction reagents and the product is later purified.
The target DNA fragments need to be amplified by specialized PCR to obtain the target product.
The removal of double-stranded DNA can be accomplished using various methods. One commonly employed technique is base denaturation, while another method involves the isolation of ssDNA through denaturing polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE).
The ssDNA obtained is purified as needed. Common methods for purification include dialysis, ethanol precipitation, or the use of specialized kits.
Quantify the obtained ssDNA using UV spectrometry or fluorescence quantification, and verify its purity and size through electrophoresis or other analytical methods.

Results:
In contrast to stable dsDNA dimers, ssDNA and single-stranded RNA (ssRNA) are highly susceptible to disruption; the reactive bonding energy in the single-stranded conformation is not quenched by physiological interactions and can be used for haphazard interactions with illicit target molecules that can lead to degradation. dsDNA illustrates how the exchange of energy between interacting strands can retard their entropic resolution.
