not lost among the weeds. As a community collection, the Registry contains every part entered by anyone. This includes parts with no sequence, no description, and even parts with a description such as ''Delete me''. Many of the parts are old, poorly documented, and unused; these are the weeds. However, many parts have excellent documentation, proper sequences and matching DNA samples. Many of them are valuable and have been used by many teams; these are the roses.

Due to changes in our user accounts, we have created a <a href="https://parts.igem.org/Help:New_Login">new system</a> to login to the Registry. In order to edit the Registry wikis, you need to first log in through <a href="https://igem.org">igem.org</a>. Then when on the Registry, use the login bar to login to the part wikis.

The Registry is based on the principle of "get some, give some".  Registry users benefit from using the parts and information available from the Registry in designing their engineered biological systems.  In exchange, the expectation is that Registry users will, in turn, contribute back information and data on existing parts and new parts that they make to grow and improve this community resource.

Featured Collection

Now shipping: 2024 iGEM Distribution

The iGEM 2024 distribution builds upon our 2023 one. It will include expansions to the Open Yeast collection and the iGEM Engineering Committee collections!

Like last year, we have partnered with Asimov to manufacture a distribution of the highest quality, bringing in their best manufacturing practices, new automation workflows, and high quality control check points.

Composite Parts

If you synthesized or used a different assembly system to create a composite part, you can now enter specific scars between subparts. If you have any issues with functionality, please contact registry (at) igem (dot) org.

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.

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.

Registry Help

Before starting your projects, be sure to read through our help pages. If you can't find an answer to your question, contact technology (at) igem . org.

Protocols

Be sure to read through the Registry recommended protocols. They've been tested using the DNA Distribution Kit and BioBrick parts. See the Registry help pages for a list of protocols.
