In this post of the Careers in Science Communication blog series, you’ll hear from Susan Keown, a staff writer at the non-profit Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center.
We’ve talked a lot about the quality control process at Addgene by introducing our new sequencing partner seqWell and going into detail about how we use next generation sequencing results to perform quality control on deposited plasmids. We’ve also talked about how our new ...
Although we're storing away all of our holiday decorations, our holiday spirit remains. We would like to thank everyone who participated in our annual #Deckthelab contest. The bar was set very high from last year’s impressive entries, but our community of creative scientists ...
A recent survey of PhDs found that many researchers feel that they lack formal training in a variety of transferable skills. At Addgene we've set out to fill this gap by both highlighting that researchers do learn MANY transferable skills while working in the lab and by offering ...
This post was contributed by guest blogger Jon Backstrom, a biochemist in the Vanderbilt Eye Institute and Tonia Rex's lab. A common strategy to determine the binding kinetics of a purified protein involves immobilization on a solid support. This allows washing away of unbound ...
As the saying goes, “failing to plan is planning to fail.” Preparation is a key step to any experiment and can help prevent future headaches. To help you plan PEI transfections for AAV packaging, considering using this PEI Calculator. AAV packaging typically requires ...
Promoters control the binding of RNA polymerase and transcription factors. Since the promoter region drives transcription of a target gene, it therefore determines the timing of gene expression and largely defines the amount of recombinant protein that will be produced. Many ...
