As the life science research landscape continues to evolve, Addgene remains committed to supporting discovery through access, collaboration, and shared infrastructure.
In a new blog post, our Executive Director, Chonnettia Jones, PhD, reflects on the past year and looks ahead to how Addgene is strengthening the foundations that support open, reproducible science worldwide.

Dive Deeper into Unique Signaling Pathways
Through our collaboration with the Institute for Protein Innovation (IPI), we’re expanding access to reliable antibody tools for studying axon guidance and the synaptic cleft. Recent additions include antibodies targeting neurexin and neuroligin, as well as axon-guidance targets such as Netrin, DCC, and PUNC. More families — including the Robo/Slit group — are coming soon.
Finding the right plasmid by sequence is now faster and more informative. With the addition of new filters, Search by Sequence now offers clearer results, helping you more quickly evaluate candidate constructs and identify the best match for your work. Filter by:
Sequence Type: Now including protein based search, helpful for finding codon-optimized sequences that wouldn’t be found using nucleotide search
BLAST Database: Select a smaller database to reduce the number of matches returned, such as only backbone plasmids or only plant plasmids
BLAST Algorithm: Choose the alignment algorithm that best fits your search needs, such as blast-short for super short sequences
Known for its broad tropism and utility across neuroscience and gene therapy applications, AAV9 will soon be available alongside our existing on-demand packaging options — giving you even more flexibility when designing and scaling your experiments.
