New Plasmids & Kits
CRISPR Plasmid Collection: CRISPR/Cas (CRISPR associated) systems are a new genome-engineering technology recently developed from bacteria and archaea adaptive immune response systems. Browse CRISPR plasmids available from Addgene.
Rinehart & Söll Phosphoprotein Synthesis Kit: A set of plasmids and strains for specific cotranslational O-phosphoserine (Sep) incorporation.
GECO plasmids: An expanded palette of genetically encoded Ca2+ indicators.
TALENs
TALENs are new tools for genome engineering. TALENs are fusions of the transcription activator-like (TAL) effectors of a plant pathogen to the FokI nuclease. These kits allow for efficient assembly of TALENs with custom repeat arrays.
