Catalog	List
		Promoters (?): A promoter is a DNA sequence that tends to recruit transcriptional machinery and lead to transcription of the downstream DNA sequence.
		Ribosome Binding Site/about (?): A ribosome binding site (RBS) is an RNA sequence found in mRNA to which ribosomes can bind and initiate translation.
		Protein domains (?): Protein domains are portions of proteins cloned in frame with other proteins domains to make up a protein coding sequence. Some protein domains might change the protein's location, alter its degradation rate, target the protein for cleavage, or enable it to be readily purified.
		Protein coding sequences (?): Protein coding sequences encode the amino acid sequence of a particular protein. Note that some protein coding sequences only encode a protein domain or half a protein. Others encode a full-length protein from start codon to stop codon. Coding sequences for gene expression reporters such as LacZ and GFP are also included here.
		Translational units (?): Translational units are composed of a ribosome binding site and a protein coding sequence. They begin at the site of translational initiation, the RBS, and end at the site of translational termination, the stop codon.
		Terminators (?): A terminator is an RNA sequence that usually occurs at the end of a gene or operon mRNA and causes transcription to stop.
		DNA (?): DNA parts provide functionality to the DNA itself. DNA parts include cloning sites, scars, primer binding sites, spacers, recombination sites, conjugative tranfer elements, transposons, origami, and aptamers.
		Plasmid backbones (?): A plasmid is a circular, double-stranded DNA molecules typically containing a few thousand base pairs that replicate within the cell independently of the chromosomal DNA. A plasmid backbone is defined as the plasmid sequence beginning with the BioBrick suffix, including the replication origin and antibiotic resistance marker, and ending with the BioBrick prefix.
		Plasmids (?): A plasmid is a circular, double-stranded DNA molecules typically containing a few thousand base pairs that replicate within the cell independently of the chromosomal DNA. If you're looking for a plasmid or vector to propagate or assemble plasmid backbones, please see the set of plasmid backbones. There are a few parts in the Registry that are only available as circular plasmids, not as parts in a plasmid backbone, you can find them here. Note that these plasmids largely do not conform to the BioBrick standard.
		Primers (?): A primer is a short single-stranded DNA sequences used as a starting point for PCR amplification or sequencing. Although primers are not actually available via the Registry distribution, we include commonly used primer sequences here.
		Composite parts (?): Composite parts are combinations of of two or more BioBrick parts.

These pages have not undergone curation by the Registry but have been made by the Registry user community. Please feel free to add new catalog pages to this section. Over time, high quality pages will be "promoted" to the primary Registry catalog collection.

	Mesoplasma florum (?): Mesoplasma florum is a particularly simple model organism.
	Genome Integration (?): The miniTn7 BioBrick tool kit is a set of fully BioBrick-compatible vectors based on Tn7 transposon for the integration of parts into microbial genomes.
	Magnetotaxis (?): magnetotactic strain AMB-1 with BioBrick-compatible toolkit enables development of synthetic biology into magnetotaxis and beyond.
