In this quarterly blog series, we’ll highlight a few of the new CRISPR plasmids available at Addgene. We will still periodically focus on specific CRISPR plasmid tools more in-depth, but we hope that this blog series will help you find new CRISPR tools for your research! This ...
So you’ve done the research, gathered up your data into an exciting story, and are ready to present your findings at a conference. But what you get out of a conference depends on what you put into it before, during, and after the meeting. Let’s break it down into the following: ...
Apoptosis or “programmed cell death" plays a pivotal role in an array of biological processes including development, the immune system, and cell turnover. Apoptosis is a highly controlled process that is triggered by internal and external signals such as developmental cues and ...
In 2012, we received the first CRISPR plasmid deposit. Now we have over 8,000 CRISPR plasmids in the repository that have been shared over 140,000 times to over 75 countries. That’s a lot of CRISPR! As we’ve shared these tools over the years, the amount of CRISPR educational ...
Direct reprogramming describes the process where differentiated cells are turned into a cell type of choice while bypassing the intermediate pluripotent state. Though a valuable tool for regenerative medicine, direct reprogramming is an inefficient process, with the majority of ...
Thousands of mutations have been implicated in cancer. Yet, the majority of them remain uncharacterized. This represents a considerable barrier to furthering research and developing effective treatments for the disease. Recently, Kenneth Scott’s lab at Baylor College of Medicine ...
In this heyday of molecular biology, many scientists do a lot of DNA work but never get to actually manipulate the organism they study (unless if you count normal human interaction for all of us studying human genes in test tubes and gels). As a freshman in college I studied ...
