Help:Submission/Form

Sample submission of parts is no longer a requirement for the iGEM competition. Also, iGEM HQ can no longer accept shipment of samples. Please do not ship any samples to our offices. Information in regards to shipping of samples to iGEM HQ has been kept solely for archival and consistency purposes.

Parts must still be documented on the Registry and follow the guidelines/requirements of the iGEM competition.

Submission Instructions
    Now that your part meets the Registry's submission requirements, you're ready to send a DNA sample:
  • you'll need to fill out an online submission form
  • prepare the physical shipment (aliquot DNA into tubes or wells)
  • ship the DNA to iGEM HQ (include a tracking number)

Before you send your part...

Make sure you've read the requirements!

    Your part must:
  • be BioBrick compatible. It does not contain the restriction sites: EcoRI, XbaI, SpeI, PstI
  • be in pSB1C3 and flanked by the BioBrick prefix and suffix, unless granted an exemption by iGEM HQ. Why pSB1C3?
  • be added to the Registry (it will have a part name, BBa_...).
  • have its sequence entered into the Registry
