New Collection: Luciferase Plasmids

Luciferase reporter assays are commonly used to investigate the effect of regulatory elements, such as promoters & enhancers, on gene expression. To help you find the plasmids you need for your experiments, we've assembled a collection of luciferase plasmids that have been deposited with Addgene.

Choose from various empty backbones to create your own reporter constuct or search the collection for a plasmid that contains your regulatory element of interest.
