This post was contributed by Nikolai Braun and Keira Havens, co-founders of Revolution Bioengineering. Read their previous blog post about how they started their company here. The first transgenic plant was engineered over 30 years ago, but plant synthetic biology is still in ...
This post was contributed by Neil J. McKenna and Bert W. O’Malley. Survival of all organisms depends on efficient energy maintenance - through acquisition, storage, and utilization - and on self-propagation by reproduction. Both physiological processes are controlled by ...
As a biomedical engineer and scientist, I like to envision that my research will have a direct impact on healthcare and the community. As a result, I have occasionally pondered translating my research into a startup company. However, like many like-minded people, I quickly ...
Hey guys, Blugene here! As Addgene’s mascot, I’ve watched Addgene grow into the successful, internationally renowned plasmid repository that it is today. Although I wish I could take all of the credit, the success of the company is attributed to the entire Addgene family; the ...
Training as a scientist in the academic system has many pluses. I delighted in my graduate school years for allowing me to focus wholly on the science I love. This immersive nature of academia often means that scientists-in-training rarely get the opportunity to learn about the ...
This blog was originally published on BitesizeBio here. As part of my job ensuring plasmid quality at Addgene, I analyze 50-100 sequencing reactions a week. So I have developed some good habits that I wanted to pass on to you to make sure you are getting the most out of the data ...
With the meteoric rise of CRISPR technology, the ability to direct enzymes – from nucleases to transcription factors – to specific sequences of DNA has become commonplace. This ability has opened up a world of possibilities in the engineering of complex gene networks. A ...
