This September we have many new tools and resources to help you make the most of your research. Start by searching our growing collection of fluorescent proteins deposited by the Davidson lab and find the right plasmids to illuminate your work. Then read our new eBook, Plasmids 101, to brush up on your molecular cloning basics and get practical tips for the bench. Read on and start experimenting!

Collection: Michael Davidson Fluorescent Proteins
Addgene has been working with the Michael Davidson lab at FSU to make available their collection of 3,300 fluorescent protein (FP) constructs. The collection includes:
- 300 empty backbones for tagging your gene of interest with your favorite FP
- 3,000 FP tagged ORFs

- Extensive supplemental info, including images and localization data
- FPs available: mEmerald, mApple, mCherry, mTagBFP2, mEos3.2...
> And many more!
