Every few months, we highlight some of the new plasmids, antibodies, and viral preps in the repository through our Hot Plasmids articles.
Here at Addgene, we often refer to plasmids as lab or experimental tools. They certainly are very handy in research, but we’re really borrowing these tools from Mother Nature’s toolbox. Natural plasmids, also called environmental plasmids, are all around us!
If the fall colors are inspiring you to paint your cells in equally vivid colors, you'll want to check out the 34 new preps available in the Addgene viral vector repository! This includes the first Addgene prep packaged in the AAV9-X1.1 serotype.
If cloning methods had personalities, SLIC (sequence- and ligation-independent cloning) would be a true rebel. Not only does this system not use site-specific recombination, it also doesn’t require a ligation step. Based on the robust system of homologous recombination found in ...
Every few months we highlight some of the new plasmids, antibodies, and viral preps in our repository through our Hot Plasmids articles.
The widespread use of γ-retroviruses (gamma-retroviruses) in cancer and stem cell research has prompted the development of multiple virus packaging methods. Across these methods, the following components are needed:
There are several facilities nationwide where you can obtain excellent quality, high titer rAAV (including Addgene!), but you can also generate rAAVs in your own lab with standard molecular biology tools and tissue culture experience. Here, we’ll go over the basics of rAAV ...
What's new in Addgene's ready-to-use viral vectors repository? Quite a bit! In this post, we'll share the 20 additions we've made to our viral vectors repository since March.
