This post was contributed by guest blogger Daria Shcherbakova, a faculty member at Albert Einstein College of Medicine. Several sets of near-infrared fluorescent proteins (NIR FPs) and biosensors have been created recently. As developers of many of these probes, we decided to ...
Every few months we highlight a subset of the new plasmids and viral preps in the repository through our hot plasmids articles. These articles provide brief summaries of recent plasmid deposits and we hope they'll make it easier for you to find and use the plasmids you need.
Working on the scientific support team at Addgene, I get to see everything that can go wrong with a plasmid. One of the most frequent problems that I help troubleshoot involves viral vectors and plasmids with repeating sequences. Repeating sequences within a plasmid can undergo ...
New to the lab? Or looking for ways to supplement your teaching? You’re in luck! Addgene’s new Intro to the Lab Bench series was born from the shift to remote learning due to COVID-19. We had many protocols for plasmid cloning and working with viral vectors, but what we lacked ...
Antibodies are used in many different experiments that require scientists to detect proteins in their samples. One technique that relies heavily on antibodies is ELISA, which stands for Enzyme-linked Immunosorbent Assay. ELISA are used to detect proteins within a 96- or ...
We’re making some moves over here at Addgene...and they’re looping?
What is polymerase chain reaction? If you have ever worked in a molecular biology laboratory you have likely done a polymerase chain reaction (PCR). PCR is an in vitro method in which a small amount of DNA can be copied many many times in a short time period. PCR was invented in ...
