Information
We distribute 175,510 plasmids on behalf of 6,987 labs from around the world. Our collection also contains 1,090 ready-to-use viral vectors and 277 recombinant antibodies. These materials have been requested 2,455,766 times and shipped to 113 countries.

What's New

A Fresh Look, The Same Addgene

We've refreshed our brand to better reflect the full scope of what we do: equipping scientists with the reagents, resources, and support that make sharing possible. Behind the new look is the same mission — a nonprofit partner scientists trust with their research.

Scientists Love 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

AiP12918 - pAAV-AiE0459m_3x…

Depositor: Jonathan Ting

Purpose: AiE0459m_3xC2 is an enhancer sequence, designed to drive AAV-mediated transgene expression in cortical L5_ET neurons

Viral Prep

pAAV-hSyn-GRAB_g5-HT3.0

Depositor: Yulong Li

Purpose: Ready-to-use AAV8 particles produced from pAAV-hSyn-GRAB_g5-HT3.0 (#208717). Synapsin-driven expression of GRAB_g5-HT3.0 sensor. These AAV preparations are suitable purity for injection into animals.

Antibody

Anti-ROBO1 [IPI-ROBO1.81]

Depositor: Institute for Protein Innovation (IPI)

Purpose: Anti-ROBO1 (Human) chimeric recombinant antibody with fused human variable and rabbit constant domains; specific for human and mouse ROBO1. Does not cross-react with other ROBOs.
