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

To search for plasmids, please go to Plasmid Request or find a list of our large collections here.

For more information on how to deposit clones with our repository,
please go to Plasmid Submission.

What's New?

• Empty vectors for cell free and bacterial expression from University of Wisconsin (CESG) now available!
• TEV protease 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.
• Over 5000 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.
• Sequence-verified, genome-scale ORF collections for F. tularensis, Y. pestis and V. cholerae (HIP/HMS).
• Human kinase collection now includes clones in entry vectors for recombinational cloning and clones in a mammalian expression vector (HIP/HMS)
• Harvard Institute of Proteomics named site of the Materials Repository of the Protein Structure Initiative, funded by NIGMS/NIH for storage and distribution of more than 100,000 plasmid clones for protein expression.
