In the beginning of iGEM, it was difficult to get experiments to work as expected. As the competition matured and labs became more used to making and testing BioBricks, more things worked, but not much documentation was contributed. Finally, we required iGEMers to submit highly-documented parts to be eligible for medals. This may not seem like a big change for a single team, but we're building the Registry for future teams.

The iGEM Registry has a vast collection of parts that have been contributed over the course of our 10 year history. We have more than 20,000 parts that iGEM students (collegiate and high school), graduate students, postdocs, and PIs have contributed to the collection. Some of our parts have been used many, many times. In general, these are the older parts in our collection that have served as the foundation of many projects.

The job of every iGEMer and contributor to the Registry is to make parts users will want to use in coming years. With over 20,000 parts already in our collection, this is not an easy feat. You will need to create great parts for them to become among our most used.

We have many ribosome binding sites in our collection. You may want a strong RBS or one for your organism of choice. However, if you're not sure, you might want one that many other people have used, and will just work in . At the time of writing, our most frequently used part is BBa_B0034. This ribosome binding site, first described by Michael Elowitz in 1999 has been used over 8000 times in the history of the Registry. You can find the number of uses for each part in the part quick reference box at the top of each part page.

The purpose of this page is to showcase the most highly-used parts in our collection so you may see how iGEMers on different teams approach making great parts.
