In preparation for the 2008 iGEM competition, selected DNA 'bioparts' found in the Registry are transferred onto sheets of thesis paper using the pin tool in order to be mailed to teams at participating colleges and universities. Since this is the first year that iGEM will be using the thesis paper in place of actual plates to distribute the 'bioparts', the pin tool method of transfer was evaluated for possible DNA and culture cross contamination.
