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!
La Jolla Institute for Immunology (La Jolla, CA)
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: Roman Jerala
Purpose: Mammalian expression of coiled coil segments (S2)x2-(S4)x2, with short flexible linkers and N-terminal TagBFP; for phase separation and forming of liquid condensates in mammalian cells.
Viral Prep
Depositor: GENIE Project
Purpose: Ready-to-use AAV5 particles produced from pGP-AAV-syn-iGABASnFR2-WPRE (#218874). Syn-driven expression of the improved GABA sensor iGABASnFR2 (positive change in fluorescence). These AAV preparations are suitable purity for injection into animals.
