Information
We distribute 177,602 plasmids on behalf of 7,053 labs from around the world. Our collection also contains 1,089 ready-to-use viral vectors and 284 recombinant antibodies. These materials have been requested 2,484,321 times and shipped to 113 countries.

What's New

Skip the stab. Start with DNA.

Jump straight into experiments with Transfection-Ready DNA, prepped from plasmids in our collection. The same plasmids you love as bacterial stabs, now ready to pipette on arrival — still backed by Addgene’s quality control. Request DNA from plasmids meant for CRISPR, imaging, and more!

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

pYSD300

Depositor: Paul Young

Purpose: Encodes the S. cerevisiae Aga1 protein (Part3) with pGBK1 promoter, tENO2 terminator, HIS3 selectable marker and CEN/ARS yeast origin.

Viral Prep

pGP-AAV-GFAP-iGABASnFR2-WPRE

Depositor: GENIE Project

Purpose: Ready-to-use AAV1 particles produced from pGP-AAV-GFAP-iGABASnFR2-WPRE (#218871). GFAP-driven expression of the improved GABA sensor iGABASnFR2 (positive change in fluorescence). These AAV preparations are suitable purity for injection into animals.

Antibody

Anti-Parvalbumin [L114/81R]

Depositor: James Trimmer

Purpose: Anti-Parvalbumin (Rat) recombinant mouse monoclonal antibody
