We’re breaking into more audio and video on the Addgene Blog and Addgene website. As we push forward with these efforts, you’ll find new ways to learn about science careers, lab protocols, and, of course, plasmids. Today we’re trying a new way to present plasmid info with a new ...
Have you ever thought - Is there an easy way to find published plasmids? Do you spend a lot of time in PubMed searching for research articles? Well then, my scientist friend, do I have a handy tool for you.
This post was contributed by Jesse S. Boehm, the Associate Director of the Cancer Program at the Broad Institute of Harvard and MIT. The notion of cancer precision medicine seems so simple! Take a patient’s tumor sample, use cutting edge genomic technologies to map the mutations ...
Note: Cpf1 is also called Cas12a. There’s a new development for CRISPR-Cpf1 genome editing! A recent paper from Feng Zhang's lab describes how to use Cpf1 for multiplex genome editing. For a few reasons, Cpf1 is a simplified system for editing multiple targets compared to Cas9. ...
Even before fluorescent proteins (FPs) came into wide use, there were a variety of ways to monitor cell, organelle, and protein localization. For instance, you might dye your cells and look at them under a microscope, fractionate samples to isolate particular organelles and ...
This is the second half of a two-part interview with Vini Mani and Amy Gilson from Science in the News (SITN) at Harvard University. There are tons of ways you can get involved in science communication. In this second half of our conversation with Vini Mani and Amy Gilson from ...
Fluorescent proteins (FPs) offer scientists a simple yet powerful way to tag cellular proteins and investigate protein localization, interaction, and expression. However, one caveat of FP-protein fusions (FP-chimeras) is that they undergo normal protein turnover. FP-chimeras are ...
