Choose your assembly method, support the standard

Choose your assembly method and assemble your parts with a variety of assembly techniques. You can use 3A Assembly, Type IIS, synthesis, Gibson, and more.

Support the standard. Although users can add parts to the Registry that adhere to other assembly standards, BioBrick RFC[10] and Type IIS are the Registry's current de facto standards; all parts on the Registry that will be considered for the iGEM competition (medals, awards, etc.) must be assembly compatible for BioBrick or Type IIS.

In 2019, sample submission is no longer required. However, ensuring your parts are assembly compatible allows the Registry to synthesize your parts in BioBrick and/or Type IIS format. Registry members can easily and reliably use and assemble these parts in the future.
