Twenty years of accelerating scientific discovery. Over 150,000 plasmids empowering researchers worldwide. Countless breakthroughs enabled by shared resources. As we step into 2025, these milestones remind us of the extraordinary impact that happens when scientists come together ...
Early CRISPR applications were often limited by the low editing efficiency of homology-directed repair (HDR), the pathway for resolving DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) preferred by researchers. Compared to non-homologous end joining (NHEJ), HDR occurs at a relatively low ...
The versatility of CRISPR allows you to play with DNA in a number of ways, from small edits that change single base pairs, to chromosomal inversions and large deletions. Many of these methods rely on Cas9 or a derivative of Cas9, but the ever-expanding repertoire of CRISPR has ...
If you're an international researcher who uses plasmids containing genes from rabies and vesicular stomatitis virus, you may have noticed it’s been easier to order these plasmids. This is because in 2024 certain export control exceptions were made by the US Bureau of Industry ...
Forward genetics screens are a valuable part of the molecular biology toolbox to identify new target genes for drug discovery or to understand the intricacies of molecular pathways. These screens have gotten larger, easier, and more comprehensive thanks to the consistent ...
Bundling up for winter? The weather outside might be frightful, but browsing the 49 new preps available in the Addgene viral vector repository with a nice cup of hot chocolate is absolutely delightful. Grab a hot beverage and a blanket, then scroll on for some wintery delights!
We recently updated our blog post on Prime Editing, and that meant rereading many of the original papers reporting various prime editing tools. These papers are chock full of great tips to guide your experimental design, especially the design of the RNA sequences you’ll use in ...
