Featured Part

Cellulose Collection

Group: Team Imperial 2014, and others

The 2014 Imperial iGEM team created a bacterial cellulose filter for their Aqualose project. They wanted to produce flexible, and pollution-specific filters to aid in water sanitation. They created a set of well-documented cellulose binding domains, paired with reporter genes (GFP) and metal binding domains.

Many other teams have also worked with cellulose, so check out the cellulose related parts collection.

Catalog

The iGEM Registry has over 20,000 documented parts. The Catalog organizes many of these parts by part type, chassis, function, and more. Browse for parts through the Registry Catalog or use the search menu.

2017 DNA Distribution

The iGEM 2017 DNA Distribution has started shipping! We've added some new material this year, so be sure to read through the 2017 Distribution Handbook for storage instructions and how to use your kit!

Collections

We've updated the Registry part collections. Users can discover new parts and collections and build upon what previous iGEM teams and labs have achieved.
