Thanks to Steve Owens, Katherine Tolley, Griffin Tighe, and Anne Mazzola for visiting Addgene on Friday! We appreciated the chance to share our work and talk about the role organizations like Addgene play in supporting science and innovation in Massachusetts.

The go-to serotype for CNS + cardiac delivery is now available through Addgene's AAV Packaged on Request service, backed by the same stringent QC standards as our in-stock viral preparations. What cargo do you need in AAV9? https://twp.ai/4ivYPv

The image is an infographic titled "Open science creates economic value through reuse at scale," by PLOS. It highlights four benefits of reuse: prevents duplication of effort, accelerates research processes, compounds benefits through network effects, and enables reuse across sectors. The left side features a flowchart illustrating reuse from a single research output. On the right, a text box emphasizes that open science can enhance productivity and strengthen long-term performance when done correctly. A final note states, "Publishing is a vital part of the infrastructure that enables reuse at scale.

Open Science isn’t just a values choice. It’s an economic one.

We are sharing a new independent report by @technopolis-group.com on the economic benefits of #OpenScience and what drives value when research outputs are designed for reuse at scale: plos.io/4rdAxCY

Addgene: Roth Lab PRESTO-Tango GPCR Kit PRESTO-Tango Kit from Bryan Roth's Lab that allows for measurement of more than 300 GPCRs

Good question! Some of our kits do have that option in the "Protocols & Resources" tab on the website. If the sequence files are not there - you can email us at help@addgene.org to get one.
Example - www.addgene.org/kits/roth-gp...

Are your houseplants crying out for help? Mine are fine, thanks. 😝 But a team at @danforthcenter.bsky.social wants crops to be able to warn their growers when something isn't right. Check out their approach (and their plasmids!) in this post:

Talk about multitasking. Sentinel plants developed at @danforthcenter.bsky.social may one day not only grow our food, but also act as living biosensors to report on the conditions of their own fields. 🌱🌱🌱
