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

Basic Parts Add a Basic Part Now...

Basic Parts are atomic units of DNA. They cannot be subdivided into smaller component parts. DNA for a basic part may be obtained by de-novo synthesis, genbank, primer extension and PCR, or other techniques. Like all parts, a Basic Part is stored in a plasmid, surrounded by a restriction-enzyme cloning region ("BioBrick ends"). This cloning region is not included in the sequence of the part. It can be provided by the Registry software.

Composite Parts 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.

Construction Intermediates 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.

-Composite Parts are functional units made from an ordered series of basic parts or other composite parts. ''Explicit sequences of DNA cannot be included in the list'', (such parts should first be added to the Registry as Basic Parts). The Registry's software provides a list of all the basic parts that make up the composite part. This is called the deep parts list and is used when searching for parts to use during an assembly. 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.
