BioBricks are a set of interchangable parts, designed with a view to building biological systems in living cells. The picture to the left shows BioBrick part [[Part:BBa_B0034|BBa_0034]] within a [[Help:Plasmids|plasmid]]. The brick is flanked by a standard biobrick [[Help:BioBrick Prefix and Suffix|prefix (P) and suffix (S)]]. The yellow arrow represents the plasmid's antibiotic resistance gene and the green arrow, its origin of replication. Click the image to find out more or alternatively see:

BioBrick parts can be assembled to form useful devices, through a process often refeed to as 'Standard Assembly' This uses normal cloning techniques based on [[Assembly:Restriction enzymes|restriction enzymes]], purification, ligation, and transformation. BioBrick parts are [[Assembly:Composable|composable]]; allowing endless numbers of biobricks to be pieced together to form higher systems.

The assembly to the left shows 3 BioBricks assembled to create a simple device. You can learn more about this device by following the link to its associated page in the registry. You may like look into:
