Addgene was built on the concept of accessibility: making plasmids more accessible to scientists around the world. In 2004, that was a fairly simple goal… and we had no idea how much our understanding of what accessibility is would change over the next twenty years. But learn we ...
Monoclonal antibody drugs are popular therapeutics for a plethora of disease conditions, from cancer to autoimmune disorders. Antibodies administered as drugs are still immunogenic, meaning that they elicit an immune response from the body. Several factors contribute to the ...
“Off-target effects” a vague catch-all term for unintended consequences in an experiment. For CRISPR work, this often means DNA cleavage at unanticipated sites. While off-target effects are nearly impossible to eliminate, it’s essential to understand them in order to design the ...
If you’re interested in studying immunology or subpopulations of cells, you’ll soon find yourself encountering flow data in the literature. Data reported from flow cytometry experiments can be a little challenging to understand if you’ve never done any flow. But in order to plan ...
Addgene is excited to announce we now offer an export license application for rabies materials! Some of the materials in our repository, including rabies plasmids, are export-controlled materials in the USA, where Addgene is located. The export license, if granted, allows us to ...
Cellular communication and function depend on potential energy. Cellular activities like action potentials, muscle contractions, and the control of voltage gated ion channels all depend on transmitting and sensing electrical potential. Thankfully, there is a tool to measure ...
Once upon a time, not so long ago, spCas9 was the only Cas enzyme widely available and applied by researchers for gene targeting. Fast forward a decade, and the CRISPR field has exploded with dozens of Cas enzymes and variants available. Without a comprehensive resource, it can ...
