Keep Sharing: Deposit Your New Plasmids  

  

As you begin a new school year, we hope you'll take the time to identify any interesting plasmids you have and consider depositing them.  Here are just some of the perks of being an Addgene depositor:

  • Visibility- By adding your plasmids to Addgene's repository, your plasmids will be more easily searched and accessed by other researchers. And, don't forget... Your papers will be spotlighted as users cite your work in publications.
  • Time Saving- While you're getting research done, Addgene scientists are responding to your plasmid requests, packing and shipping plasmids across the globe.
