Harvard Plasmid Information Database
Plasmid Information Database (PlasmID) is a central repository for plasmid clone collections and distribution based at the Harvard Institute of Proteomics (HIP), which also hosts the Protein Structure Initiative (PSI) Material Repository.
To search for plasmids, go to Plasmid Request or find a list of the collections at http://plasmid.med.harvard.edu/PLASMID/collection_overview.jsp.
The plasmid repository was established in 2004 at the Harvard Institute of Proteomics (HIP) at Harvard Medical School. Our repository holds collections of sequenced-verified open reading frame (ORF) clones made by HIP researchers, all clones made by researchers as part of the Protein Structure Initiative (PSI, see http://www.hip.harvard.edu/PSIMR/index.htm), and various clones from other researchers.
There are many ways to search for plasmids on PlasmID. You can search by specific terms, such as vector, insert name, CloneID, depositor, TargetDB ID, PDB ID, protein expression, solubility or purification.
The most flexible search tool at PlasmID is the Advanced Text Search tool. There, you can use gene names and synonyms, author names, the part or full name of a vector, species name, PDB ID, TargetDB/PepcDB ID or combinations to search plasmids. It is also helpful to use “official” gene names and identifiers as they appear in databases such as NCBI Entrez Gene or organism-specific databases like SGD or FlyBase. Try “view empty vectors” to see a list of vectors that take inserts, act as helper vectors, etc. You can enter more than one ID in a field at “search by gene” to search multiple genes at one time.
