Nature Methods’ @VivienM highlights that @Addgene doesn't just distribute plasmids - they improve them. When they found most AAV plasmids had ITR mutations, they built better backbones with canonical ITRs. That's what happens when you put science first. #BetterScience #VectorQuality

The recent Nature Methods article, "Vector choices, vector surprises" by @VivienM details how quality control steps are often skipped when designing plasmids due to time constraints. At Addgene, we don’t take shortcuts! We verify all of our plasmids before distribution. #VectorQuality
