Add and Document Parts!

iGEM Headquarters will be attending an off-site meeting from September 24-28, 2018. Some registry services will be unavailable during that time.

- Part sample requests will be processed after September 30. Teams can continue to request samples during the closure by emailing HQ [AT] igem [DOT] org.
- Part sample submissions will be collected and marked as received in the system after September 30. Teams submitting samples for the 2018 Competition will not be penalized if their shipment is delayed due to the closure.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. For any questions relating to Registry services, please email HQ [AT] igem [DOT] org.

Add and Document Parts

Start adding and documenting your parts now! Your parts should be well characterized and measured, and follow the Registry's requirements.

Sample Submission

iGEM Teams must complete a submission form and ship their part samples by October 10, 11:59PM EDT. Follow the Registry's requirements for part submission, and don't forget to include a tracking number!

Registry Updates

The Registry will be undergoing updates (some major, some minor) over the next few months. If you notice any issues with functionality, please let us know at hq (at) igem (dot) org.

Featured Part

Metal Binding and Sensing Parts

Every year, a number of iGEM teams complete a variety of biosensors and bioremediation projects that involve metal-binding and metal-sensing. Their focus may be on several pollutants or just one. iGEM teams have worked with metals like nickel, mercury, lead, arsenic, copper, amongst others.

We've put together a collection of projects and DNA parts that are responsible for both metal binding and metal sensing.

DNA Synthesis Offer: IDT

IDT is once again generously offering 20 kb of DNA as gBlocks® Gene Fragments free of charge to each iGEM 2018 team! Click here to go to IDT's partner offers page for more info.

2018 DNA Distribution

The iGEM 2018 DNA Distribution has started shipping to registered and approved iGEM teams! Be sure to read through the 2018 Distribution Handbook for storage instructions and how to use your kit!

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 hq (at) igem . org.

Useful help topics:

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.

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.
