cDNA Clones & Expression-Ready Plasmids

Every plasmid you can imagine, built on 30 years of verified clones.

Search over a million sequence-verified cDNA clones across human, mouse, and rat — or tell us the gene, vector, promoter, tag, and selection marker, and we'll match or build the exact construct your experiment needs.

Product Families

Nine clone formats. One catalog.

Not sure which family fits your experiment? Construct My Plasmid will recommend one automatically — or use the reference below. The two foundational formats are flagged first, then branch out for validation, delivery, or a specific assay.

FOUNDATIONAL

TrueClone

Untagged · Native cDNA

Full-length, native cDNA with untouched UTRs and stop codon, in pCMV6-XL4/5/6 vectors. Best for native protein overexpression and PCR templates.

FOUNDATIONAL

TrueORF

Tagged · Shuttle-Ready

Myc-DDK or GFP tagged, ORF-only clones in pCMV6-Entry or pCMV6-AC-GFP. Shuttles into any PrecisionShuttle destination vector.

TrueORF Gold

Validated · Next-Day

Sequence-verified and expression-validated in HEK293 cells before it ships, with downloadable chromatograms. Available for next-day shipment.

3' UTR Reporter Clones

miRNA Target Validation

Luciferase reporter constructs carrying a gene's native 3' UTR, built to confirm predicted microRNA binding sites.

Why OriGene

Coverage and control, without the guesswork.

Coverage

The largest verified collection

78,000+ human, 58,000+ mouse, and 18,000+ rat TrueORF clones, plus 45,000+ human, 30,000+ mouse, and 18,000+ rat untagged TrueClones.

Quality

Sequence-verified, every time

Each clone is sequenced end-to-end and matched against its reference before it ever ships — so what you order is what you get.

Flexibility

Tag it your way

Myc-DDK (FLAG) or GFP tags built in, N- or C-terminal — or go untagged with a native TrueClone for functional studies.

Shuttling

PrecisionShuttle® system

Cut-and-paste subcloning moves any ORF into a wide panel of destination vectors — no re-sequencing required after each transfer.

Delivery

Built for hard-to-transfect cells

Lentiviral plasmids and ready-made particles for primary cells, T cells, NK cells, HSCs, and iPSCs.

Custom

Nothing off the shelf? We'll build it

Genes that are GC-rich, toxic to standard cloning bacteria, or simply not yet catalogued — our custom cloning team takes it from there.

Trusted by Researchers

Clones that work the first time — and a team that backs them up.

Across three decades and a million clones, the two things researchers mention most are reliability of the reagent itself and how quickly our team responds when a project needs a custom construct or a fast quote.
