What's the difference between a basic and composite part?
- Basic Parts are discrete functional units of DNA. They cannot be subdivided into smaller component parts.
- Composite Parts are functional units made from an ordered series of basic parts or other composite parts.
In order to create a composite part, each basic part that composes it must already be added and documented to the Registry.
I want to add a part but do not know the sequence
All users should know their part's sequence before working with it. However, you can still add and document your part and add/edit the sequence later by going to part tools >> edit sequence and features. Your part's sequence must be documented before submission per the Registry's submission requirements.
How do I document an improvement on an existing part on the Registry?
There are many different ways to improve an existing part, from adding measurement data to codon-optimization. Please see our help page on contributions.
