Addgene’s Mission

Mission

Addgene is a non-profit organization dedicated to making it easier for scientists to share plasmids.

Addgene is reaching this goal by operating a plasmid repository for the research community. We are working with thousands of laboratories to assemble a high-quality library of published plasmids for use in research and discovery. By linking plasmids with articles, scientists can always find data related to the materials they request.

Addgene is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization. Fees collected from plasmid requests are used to support operation of the repository. Charitable contributions are tax deductible. Please contact Addgene at help@addgene.org if you would like to make a contribution.
