A viral vector that can target specific tissues, even when administered systemically, without causing disease? Recombinant adeno-associated viral vectors, or rAAVs, can sound almost too good to be true! In a previous post, we covered systemic capsids, which allow AAVs to broadly ...
Over 75,000 pathogenic genetic variants have been identified in humans and cataloged in the ClinVar database. Previously developed genome editing methods using nucleases and base editors have the potential to correct only a minority of those variants in most cell types. But ...
AAV Packaged on Request, an expansion of our viral vectors service, has officially launched! As of today, you can request any of over 3,000 eligible AAV cargo plasmids in the Addgene repository to be packaged in your choice of five different serotypes.
Every year, we like to add in some holiday cheer to our blog and social media. This year, we're doing so through the twelve days of antibodies. We hope you enjoy it, and we wish you a great 2025!

It’s a very thankful time of year for those of us at Addgene! And we can’t think of any better way to start off our holiday season than by thanking the twelve guest bloggers and subject matter experts who have contributed to our blog in 2024.
When Addgene opened in 2004, we focused on creating a repository that made it easy to share plasmids, both for people depositing plasmids and for people requesting them. Prior to this, many plasmids were available, but they often weren’t easily accessible, due to a wide range of ...
