Every few months we highlight a subset of the new plasmids in the repository through our hot plasmids articles. These articles provide brief summaries of recent plasmid deposits and we hope they'll make it easier for you to find and use the plasmids you need. Below you'll find ...
Antibodies are a go-to tool for detecting a protein of interest in cells and tissues. Although antibody production is well established, it’s also a process that’s difficult for individual labs to complete. The nanobody based RANbody platform from the Sanes Lab overcomes this ...
This post was contributed by guest blogger Matthew J. Niederhuber, a graduate student at UNC Chapel Hill. Chromatin immunoprecipitation followed by high-throughput sequencing, ChIP-Seq, is the go-to method for mapping where a protein binds genome-wide, and has been widely ...
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 ...
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 ...
This post was contribued by guest bloggers Aline and Benjamin Glick from SnapGene. SnapGene was created to meet a need. While there were software tools available to biomedical researchers manipulating DNA sequences on a daily basis, many found these tools inadequate for ...
This post was contributed by Kusumika (Kushi) Mukherjee, a Postdoc at Massachussetts General Hospital. A little over a decade back when Yamanaka and colleagues reported that it is possible to reprogram differentiated cells into induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) by the ...
In the fourth episode of our Hot Plasmids podcast series, you'll learn about new libraries for studying B. subtilis biology, plasmids for enhancing iPSC production, and CRISPR tools for plants. You can find additional hot plasmids in our quarterly newsletter or on our hot ...
