  1. Jkm 10:11, 12 Jul 2005 (EDT): Not sure if this is feasible, but automated sequence matching would be helpful. Similar to blast, but let me upload a set of sequence files (tagged as forward or reverse) and a BB part, and the Registry should align the sequences to verify the part. It would also be nice to save those sequence files, linked to the BB part, for future reference.
    • Ilya: A primitive version of such tool lives on my machine: http://habanero.mit.edu/cgi-bin/biobricks.pl
  2. Reshma 05:22, 14 Jul 2005 (EDT): Blast against the entire database (ideally such that BioBrick ends could automatically be ignored).
    • These were implemented as "Sequence analysis" in the June 2006 release - Randy
  3. Reshma 13:58, 16 Nov 2005 (EST): Enter features on the opposite strand.
    • Done. Put a 1 in the Reverse column when editing the features of a particular part.
  4. DE 15:28, 4 April 2006 (EDT): A recent changes feature (a la' most wikis) so that Registry users can see what's changing in near real time / real time.
    • Done. See [http://parts.mit.edu/d/parts/partsdb/changes.cgi Recent part changes].
  5. Jkm 14:38, 29 Jul 2005 (EDT): It would be nice to have a single page that allowed editing of all the parts of a BB. For making single small changes, the current page is great. To make multiple changes (particularly when creating new parts), having to open and save each part individually is irritating.
    • The entry of parts was completely redone.
  6. RS 15:17, 5 June 2006 (EDT): The [http://openwetware.org/wiki/OpenWetWare:Biblio Biblio] extension for ease and standardization of entering references. I am already making use of the extension in certain parts even though the extension is not currently implemented.
    • Done.
