Finding the best plasmid for your research can be a daunting challenge. With over 80,000 deposited plasmids from around the world, it can be hard to find your favorite gene, promoter, serotype, or a myriad of other things. That’s why we’ve built a new and improved search engine ...
Plasmid pumpkins, team costumes, and spooky science stories. Yes, please! At Addgene, we love finding ways to incorporate science themes into our fun activities and Halloween is no exception. For the past 10+ years, Addgenies have formed teams, chosen a theme for the costume, ...
We first “went viral” in 2016 when we introduced the viral service, and now we’re “going viral” again!

With a collection of over 70,000 plasmids, kits, and viral service items we employ dozens of pieces of energy-intensive lab equipment on a daily basis. By the beginning of September all will be powered by 100% renewable electricity!
The late Michael Davidson and Roger Tsien played enormous roles in fluorescent protein development by openly sharing their resources with the research community. To honor their legacy, we launched the Michael Davidson and Roger Tsien Commemorative Travel Awards in 2017. These ...
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 ...
