Choosing a lab can be a major decision. A science trainee will spend 4-7 years working for one person and with a group who all strive for a common big-picture goal. It is worth doing some some serious pre-work to find a lab that will be a good fit for you and your career ...
Once you've gotten to know what a plasmid is in general, it's time to take a look at some of its parts. Elements such as the antibiotic resistance gene and the origin of replication are necessary to replicate plasmids and make sure the cells maintains it. Here, we'll cover the ...
This blog post is the first in a series that will feature advice for students, postdocs, and young Principal Investigators (PIs). We've interviewed Addgene depositors who are at various stages in their careers to get advice on choosing a lab, picking your research topic, ...
If you start poking around on Addgene’s Fluorescent Protein Guide to In Vivo Imaging, you’ll pretty quickly notice the name Vladislav Verkhusha popping up again and again, and for good reason. We all know scientists have used fluorescent proteins to observe what’s happening ...
Although plasmids do not naturally exist in mammals, scientists can still reap the benefits of plasmid-based research using synthetic vectors and cultured mammalian cells. Of course, these mammalian vectors must be compatible with the cell type they are tranfected into – a ...
This article was originally published on the Society for Laboratory Automation and Screening (SLAS) Electronic Laboratory Neighborhood. Work/life balance. Is it truly possible to bring all aspects of our lives under control? Balance is a myth and should not even be the real ...
As Kendall mentioned in Tuesday's blog post, keeping up with the newest CRISPR technologies and their applications can be exhausting. A quick search for "CRISPR", short-hand for Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats, in Pubmed returned 728 articles ...
