Abstract

Addgene’s mission is to accelerate research and discovery by improving access to useful research materials and information. We facilitate the sharing of high-quality scientific materials, research reproducibility, and open science by archiving and distributing DNA-based research reagents and associated data to scientists worldwide. Our repository contains over 84,000 plasmids, including special collections on CRISPR and fluorescent proteins, and more than 450 ready-to-use AAV and lentiviral preparations. There is no cost for scientists to deposit plasmids, which saves time and money associated with shipping plasmids themselves. All plasmids in Addgene’s repository were deposited by your scientific colleagues from around the world. All plasmids are fully sequenced for validation and sequencing data is openly available. Furthermore, we offer free educational resources about molecular biology topics including the AAV Data Hub, our blog, eBooks, and written and video protocols.

The top 3 key questions that Addgene repository can answer:

1. How can I find relevant DNA-based reagents for studying my disease model of interest?

2. Which molecular biology tools and techniques are appropriate for my experiments?

3. What are the benefits of sharing my plasmids and how do I deposit plasmids into the repository?

Presenter: Dr. Angela Abitua, Outreach Scientist at Addgene, the nonprofit plasmid repository
