In response to researcher feedback, CiteAb introduced a nucleotide reagent database to capture data on plasmids, viral vectors, siRNA products, primers and more.

Plasmids are essential tools for cloning, expression studies, and genome engineering. This brand new award celebrates the supplier supporting research with their plasmid products.

We used the following methodology to determine the award winner:

• Limiting analysis to plasmid citations
• Calculating the supplier with the highest citation count in the previous year

Our congratulations to Addgene, winners of the Plasmid Supplier of the Year Award.

Addgene are a non-profit repository, born to help scientists share plasmids. Addgene handles the storage, distribution, quality control and record-keeping of reagents. Their impact in this field is certainly clear through this award win!

Justin Ngai, head of Nucleotide data at CiteAb, commented:

"Plasmids are vital tools for much of modern molecular biology. This award highlights suppliers whose products are consistently enabling new research in this field with their reagents. Congratulations to the Addgene team!"
