The weather is finally warming up in Boston and that means summer is right around the corner. Here at Addgene, we’re always inspired by the new seasons, so we've made some big summer plans this year!
Many, many techniques are available to assess protein-protein interactions. One popular approach is to fuse a protein of interest to each part of a split fluorescent protein (FP) and measure the signal produced when the candidate proteins’ interaction brings the pieces of the FP ...
It is a well known fact if a multicopy variant of a gene exists, there must be assays that researchers can use to quantify said copies. They do so using copy number variation (CNV) assays. There are several varieties of these, but in this blog post, we're going to focus on ...
I love Addgene's new Antibody Guide and not just because I helped create it. But while antibodies, as the OG (as the kids say) affinity reagents deserved to be celebrated, there are many other amazing affinity reagents we just didn't have the space to give proper credit to. ...
This post was originally written by Tyler Ford in 2018. It was updated by guest blogger Abhi Aggarwal in 2022. Recent updates to iGluSnFR and SF-iGluSnFR have made it clear that it’s time to update our iGluSnFR post! Here, we look at the origins of the system and explore ...
Addgene has recently announced the launch of an open-access recombinant antibody resource called NABOR (Neuroscience AntiBody Open Resource). The antibodies distributed through NABOR are recombinant antibodies expressed from plasmids that have been deposited with Addgene. Here, ...
FLIS and Flies Drosophila, more commonly known as fruit flies, have been an important animal model for research, particularly genetics research, for decades. Its short life cycle, reasonably close genetic homology to humans, and small size have allowed scientists to use it as a ...
