Wiki tools let you edit this page, see recent changes, and more. Part tools let you edit the database information about tha part. Members of the iGEM community may contribute tools in the bottom section of this page.

The Registry has many ways to find parts. The Catalog has been improved to allow you to browse our collection by part type, chassis, function or by several other ways. We made categories much more important in terms of classifying parts to form the basis of the catalog system.

The iGEM Repository maintains the DNA of parts in plasmids in cells. The same functional part such as a particular promoter may be available as different samples in different cell strains or plasmids.

Assembly is the process by which parts are connected to one another. Assembling two basic parts results in a new, larger composite part. Assembly allows for the construction of parts that are longer and more complex in function.

We recommend the following protocols when using BioBricks, distribution kits, part requests, etc. Certain protocols have been tested and used by iGEM HQ.
