Cas9 is the genome editing tool of choice for a number of model organisms: mammalian cells, yeast, drosophila, plants, worms, zebrafish, frogs, some bacteria; but not thermophilic (high heat loving) bacteria. Until recently the only available Cas9 proteins were isolated from ...
Updated Jun 1, 2021 by Meghan Rego. Reproducible data are key to science, so scientists are used to repeating experiments to confirm their findings. But no scientist wants to repeat an experiment because of poor reagent quality. To make sure our AAV vectors are of the highest ...
In the second episode of our Hot Plasmids podcast series, you'll learn about new red fluorescent proteins, AAV tools for targeting the nervous system, and vectors for zebrafish engineering. You can find additional hot plasmids in our newsletter or on our hot plasmids webpage.
This post was contributed by guest blogger Iris Lindberg, Professor at the University of Maryland School of Medicine. In the Lindberg Lab we often make cell lines that overexpress genes of interest; more recently we have also been using Addgene CRISPR vectors to generate cell ...
This post was contributed by guest blogger Lydia Morrison from New England Biolabs. What is DNA assembly? In the context of cloning, DNA assembly refers to a method of physically joining multiple fragments of DNA to create a synthetically designed DNA sequence. There are ...
This post was contributed by guest bloggers Dominik Paquet and Dylan Kwart from Ludwig-Maximilians-University in Munich and Marc Tessier-Lavigne’s lab at the Rockefeller University in NYC. The CRISPR/Cas9 system is a versatile tool for precise gene editing in many organisms and ...
In complex metazoans, rapid cell division and large scale cell mobility are essential processes during embryonic development. These are required for a growing organism to make the complicated transition from a clump of cells to a fully differentiated body. In contrast, these ...
