Plasmid Information Database (PlasmID) is a central repository for plasmid clone collections and distribution as part of the DF/HCC DNA Resource Core based at the Harvard Institute of Proteomics (HIP). We are also the Protein Structure Initiative (PSI) Material Repository. 

PLASMID SEARCH: Go to Plasmid Request or find a list of our large collections here.

What's New?

• Curious about who orders our plasmids? Here's a map of where the repository has shipped plasmids.
• No charge for shipping for the Harvard Medical School community. Pick up your order in the Seeley G. Mudd Building in the HMS Quad in the second floor hallway freezer. You MUST have access to the building and select this option at check-out to take advantage of this option.
• Can't find the plasmid you're interested in? Search our collection using our new Blast search.
• Yeast genes now available in two new expression vectors (pBY011 and ZM552).
• Over 40 Empty vectors for cell free and bacterial expression from PSI sites now available!
• TEV protease expressing plasmid now available!
• PSI CloneIDs now link to data in TargetDB, PepcDB, PSI Structural Genomics Knowledgebase and TOPSAN
• New PSI specific searches available. Search by TargetDB ID, PDB ID, protein expression, solubility or purification or by PSI site.
• Nearly 14,000 sequence-verified PSI plasmids available.
• Credit Card Payments now accepted! You can now use either a credit card or purchase order (PO) number to pay for your request.
