Scientists Addgene
Addgene has been an exceptionally useful resource for us, both because they can be trusted to supply our plasmids to other labs efficiently, and because we ourselves are constantly ordering reagents of interest that other labs have deposited. Keep up the good work!

Our optogenetic tools are sweeping throughout neuroscience, helping scientists figure out how the brain works. Without Addgene helping provide these to the world, neuroscience would be moving at a much slower pace.

Tools of the Day
Plasmid
Depositor: Jackie Collier
Purpose: Inactivation of Aurli_150841 (crtIBY) in Aurantiochytrium limacinum MYA-1381 with zeocin resistance driven by native GAPDH promoter/termiator system.
Viral Prep
Depositor: Karl Deisseroth
Purpose: Ready-to-use AAV Retrograde particles produced from pAAV-nEF-Con/Fon/Von eYFP (#137164). nEF-driven, Cre, Flp and VCre-dependent expression of EYFP. These AAV were produced with a retrograde serotype, which permits retrograde access to projection neurons. These AAV preparations are suitable purity for injection into animals.
Antibody
Depositor: James Trimmer
Purpose: Anti-TRPML3/Mucolipin-3 (Human) recombinant mouse monoclonal antibody
