A standard biological part (or simply, part) is a sequence of DNA standardized so that it can be used to efficiently develop biological systems in living cells. A sequence of DNA becomes a part when it's flanked on both ends with standardized sequences, referred to as a prefix and suffix. The prefix and suffix contain a set of restriction enzyme sites that when cut with their respective enzyme allow parts to be interchangeable and easily connected in series. | A standard biological part (or simply, part) is a sequence of DNA standardized so that it can be used to efficiently develop biological systems in living cells.

What are standard biological parts?
A standard biological part (or simply, part) is a sequence of DNA standardized so that it can be used to efficiently develop biological systems in living cells. A sequence of DNA becomes a part when it's flanked on both ends with standardized sequences, referred to as a prefix and suffix. The prefix and suffix contain a set of restriction enzyme sites that when cut with their respective enzyme allow parts to be interchangeable and easily connected in series.
It's important to remember that while a part's existence is contingent on its prefix and suffix, the part's sequence does not include them.
The specific sequence of the prefix and suffix of a part are defined by their STANDARD. All parts belonging to a standard will have the same prefix and suffix. This means that anyone can join two parts within a standard. The Registry supports several standards, but the BioBrick standard is currently the most used and many Registry parts belong to this standard.
