Information
We distribute 172,596 plasmids on behalf of 6,904 labs from around the world. Our collection also contains 1,092 ready-to-use viral vectors and 261 recombinant antibodies. These materials have been requested 2,418,961 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

pLKO_HA.HSV.Ollas_mCherry-N…

Depositor: Brian Brown

Purpose: Nuclear Protein Barcode (nPC) for vector/cell tracking. Contains U6 trRNA cassette for sgRNA cloning. Enables spatial detection of CRISPR screens.

Viral Prep

AAV-mDlx-jGCaMP8s-WPRE

Depositor: Loren Looger

Purpose: Ready-to-use AAV9 particles produced from AAV-mDlx-jGCaMP8s-WPRE (#176755). mDlx-driven expression of the calcium sensor jGCaMP8s in GABA-ergic interneurons. These AAV preparations are suitable purity for injection into animals.

Antibody
