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: Adam Bertl
Purpose: Galactose-inducible expression of Cas9 for addressing one target; Contains guide RNA expression cassette with stuffer and KpnI-Pme1 restriction sites.
Viral Prep
Depositor: Nevan Krogan
Purpose: Ready-to-use Lentiviral Prep particles produced from pLVX-EF1alpha-SARS-CoV-2-E-2xStrep-IRES-Puro (#141385). Lentiviral particles carrying SARS-CoV-2-E. This virus is used to make stable cell lines expressing the SARS-CoV-E protein.
