Members of Registry groups may add three kinds of parts to the registry:
Basic Parts, Composite Parts, and Construction Intermediates.

==='''Basic Parts'''  [https://parts.igem.org/cgi/partsdb/add_part_b.cgi Add a Basic Part Now...]===

Basic Parts are discrete functional units of DNA.  They cannot be subdivided into smaller component parts.  DNA for a basic part may be obtained by ''de novo'' synthesis, by total synthesis based on a sequence from GenBank, by primer extension and PCR, or via other techniques.  Like all parts, a Basic Part is stored in a plasmid, flanked by restriction-enzyme cloning regions ("BioBrick ends").  These cloning region are ''not'' included in the sequence of the part as defined by the Registry. They can be provided by the Registry software.  Here is an [[Part:BBa_B0010:Design|example]] of a Basic Part.  New users:  check out these[[Help:An Introduction to BioBricks| important notes regarding BioBricks&trade; and basic part standardization.]]<br>

==='''Composite Parts''' [https://parts.igem.org/cgi/partsdb/add_part_c.cgi Add a Composite Part Now...]===

Composite Parts are functional units made from an ordered series of basic parts or other composite parts. ''Explicit base pairs of DNA cannot be entered in as sequence for these parts'' (parts which do require you to manually enter sequence are Basic Parts). The Registry's software provides information and sequence for all the basic parts that you list as components of your composite part. While the Registry provides the sequence from the component parts specified, the function and design issues of the composite part should be documented in detail.  Here is an [[Part:BBa_B0015:Design|example]] of a Composite Part.

==='''Construction Intermediates''' [https://parts.igem.org/cgi/partsdb/add_part_ci.cgi Add a Construction Intermediate Now...]===

Construction Intermediates have no specific function and are just
the result of assembling two parts together. They require no further documentation.  Often they are unwanted byproducts of construction
They all have the type 'Intermediate' and part names of the form 'BBa_Snnnnn'. These part names are automatically assigned by the Registry software. Once you enter your intermediate part in the Registry, you will be able to use BioBrick Blast to check your assembly's sequence 
and your part will show up in the subpart and superpart search functions. If you send us the DNA, we will be able to share your
work with others and include it in assemblies done by the Registry.  There are no examples of these parts available yet.

==='''Deleting A Part'''===
You can ''try'' to delete a part by going to a part's "Hard Information" and setting the <b>DNA status</b> to "deleted".
