A Better Way to
Share Science
We distribute 149,158 plasmids on behalf of 6,166 labs from around the world. Our collection also contains 919 ready-to-use viral vectors and 216 recombinant antibodies. These materials have been requested 2,151,482 times and shipped to 111 countries.
About Addgene
For over 20 years, our nonprofit repository has been making it easier to access useful research materials and information.
Deposit your plasmids or contribute data — we'll handle storage, distribution, and record-keeping, helping you to share your discoveries with other scientists.

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.

Viral Prep
Depositor: Karl Deisseroth
Purpose: Ready-to-use AAV8 particles produced from pAAV-Ef1a-Coff/Fon-GCaMP6M (#137121). EF1a-driven expression of GCaMP6m in the presence of Flp recombinase (inhibited in the presence of Cre recombinase). These AAV preparations are suitable purity for injection into animals.
