Select an Option

Associate your plasmids with the original publication where you described them.
Look up your published article by title, authors, journal, or PubMed ID.
Addgene will provide links from your plasmids to this article.
Scientists who use your plasmids will be asked to cite this article in future publications.

You can submit plasmids:

from an article in preparation, so that they can be available online when the paper is published
from a preprint or article not in PubMed
that have not been described in any formal publication

We are happy to update the publication information once your work is published in a peer-reviewed journal.
